Flight qualities of modern aircraft
Electrical flight controls
The purpose of this training is to offer an introduction to the methods used to study flight quality and integrate them into the design of aircraft and their electrical flight controls.
The course lasts 5 days (30 hours) and includes:
- 20 x 1.5-hour lectures with exercises
This course is based on experience gained during recent programs. It aims to offer a synthesis between the "physical" approach, the analytical approach and experimental techniques. The training will be alternately delivered by trainers and specialists from research and flight test departments.
Course level: Advanced
The course is open to engineers with a good general education. Knowledge of matrix calculus and differential systems is desirable.
