Unit I
CRUISING FLIGHT PERFORMANCE+6
Forces and moments acting on a flight vehicle – Equation of motion of a rigid flight vehicle – Different types of drag -estimation of parasite drag co-efficient by proper area method- Drag polar of vehicles from low speed to high speeds – Variation of thrust, power with velocity and altitudes for air breathing engines. Performance of airplane in level flight – Power available and power required curves. Maximum speed in level flight – Conditions for minimum drag and power required
Unit II
MANOEUVERING FLIGHT PERFORMANCE+6
Range and endurance – Climbing and gliding flight (Maximum rate of climb and steepest angle of climb, minimum rate of sink and shallowest angle of glide) – Takeoff and landing – Turning performance (Turning rate turn radius). Bank angle and load factor – limitations on turn – V-n diagram and load factor.
Unit III

Unit IV
LATERAL AND DIRECTIONAL STABILITY+6
Dihedral effect – Lateral control – Coupling between rolling and yawing moments – Adverse yaw effects -Aileron reversal – Static directional stability – Weather cocking effect – Rudder requirements – One engine inoperative condition – Rudder lock.
Unit V
DYNAMIC STABILITY+6
Introduction to dynamic longitudinal stability: – Modes of stability, effect of freeing the stick – Brief description of lateral and directional. dynamic stability – Spiral, divergence, Dutch roll, auto rotation and spin.
Course Outcomes:
On successful completion of this course, the student will be able to
- Build an understanding about forces & moments of an aircraft, types of drag, drag polar, and performance in level flight
- Develop an understanding about basic maneuvering performance (range, endurance, climbing, gliding & turning flight), v-n diagram and load factor.
- Build knowledge about degrees of stability, stick fixed & stick free stability, stability criteria, effect of fuselage & CG location, stick forces, aerodynamic balancing..
- Explanation about lateral control, rolling & yawing moments, static directional stability, rudder & aileron control requirements and rudder lock.
- Illustration about dynamic longitudinal stability, stability derivatives, modes & stability criterion, lateral and directional dynamic stability.
