Conventional aeronautical stability and control usage is extended into the aerospace flight regime with particular reference to the definition of operating points and coordinate systems. Implied and studied in this extension are the basic particle-dynamic equations of motion, magnitudes of possible external forces, and the flight regimes of fundamental interest. Simplified solutions of the particle-dynamic equations of motion are obtained, and certain low-frequency modes common to both particle and rigid-body motion are explored.

This book offers a unified presentation that does not discriminate between atmospheric and space flight. It demonstrates that the two disciplines have evolved from the same set of physical principles and introduces a broad range of critical concepts in an accessible, yet mathematically rigorous presentation. The book presents many MATLAB and Simulink-based numerical examples and real-world simulations. Replete with illustrations, end-of-chapter exercises, and selected solutions, the work is primarily useful as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate-level students.
