In Aerospace Engineering, the design and analysis does not stop when the plane or spacecraft starts to take flight, but it continues on throughout the journey as well. Let's take a plane for example. Once it is in flight, many different factors will take effect and influence the aircraft's motion, a few of which being cross winds, wing tip vortices, and the design of the plane itself.
Flight Vehicle Dynamics is the study of these factors on a craft and its response. In this guide, we will talk about reference frames, modes of an aircraft, state-space form and stability, spacecraft and more!
