Flight Dynamics Syllabus for B.Tech 5th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Flight Dynamics B.Tech (R13) fifthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES
To study the performance of airplanes under various operating conditions and the static and dynamic response of aircraft for both voluntary and involuntary changes in flight conditions
UNIT I : CRUISING FLIGHT PERFORMANCE [9 hours]
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 [10 hours]
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) -Turning performance (Turning rate turn radius). Bank angle and load factor – limitations on turn – V-n diagram and load factor.
UNIT III : STATIC LONGITUDINAL STABILITY [10 hours]
Degree of freedom of rigid bodies in space – Static and dynamic stability – Purpose of controls in airplanes -Inherently stable and marginal stable airplanes – Static, Longitudinal stability – Stick fixed stability – Basic equilibrium equation – Stability criterion – Effects of fuselage and nacelle – Influence of CG location Power effects – Stick fixed neutral point – Stick free stability-Hinge moment coefficient – Stick free neutral points-Symmetric maneuvers – Stick force gradients – Stick _ force per ‘g’ – Aerodynamic balancing.
[TOTAL (L:45+T:15): 60 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES
- Ability to analyse the performance of aircraft under various Flight conditions such as take off, cruise, landing, climbing, glinding, turning and other maneuvers.
