This course is the continuation of Flight Control 1; here, we apply classical control techniques previously discussed as fundamentals of control engineering to aircraft control. This course begins from the derivation of the dynamic model of aircraft and proceeds to linearization and constructing the transfer functions and stability analysis and then explore the use of feedback control for Stability Augmentation System (SAS). In this course, we use SCILAB/XCOS exclusively in simulating and analysis of flight control.
