Description for Control of Spacecraft and Aircraft
Hardback. Provides a comprehensive treatment of the design of automatic control logic for spacecraft and aircraft. This book describes the linear-quadratic-regulator (LQR) method of feedback control synthesis, which coordinates multiple controls, producing graceful maneuvers comparable to those of an expert pilot. Num Pages: 408 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: TJFM; TRP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 23. Weight in Grams: 485.
Here a leading researcher provides a comprehensive treatment of the design of automatic control logic for spacecraft and aircraft. In this book Arthur Bryson describes the linear-quadratic-regulator (LQR) method of feedback control synthesis, which coordinates multiple controls, producing graceful maneuvers comparable to those of an expert pilot. The first half of the work is about attitude control of rigid and flexible spacecraft using momentum wheels, spin, fixed thrusters, and gimbaled engines. Guidance for nearly circular orbits is discussed. The second half is about aircraft attitude and flight path control. This section discusses autopilot designs for cruise, climb-descent, coordinated turns, and ... Read more

Reviews for Control of Spacecraft and Aircraft
"The text reads very smoothly, and I found it very well edited... I very much enjoyed reading it and find it a welcome addition to the available dynamics and control texts."
