What it is about

You learn how the dynamics of an aircraft determine the requirements for flight control systems and how, with the help of systems theory and control engineering, suitable control and autopilot functions can be designed. In the end you will be able to assess the effects of control on flight properties and stability and to interactively implement simple flight control systems.

What you will be able to do

  • Analysis of the influence of inherent flight dynamics on control systems
  • Application of methods to describe system behavior
  • Development of solutions to meet flight property and stability requirements
  • Interactive implementation and visualization of flight control systems up to autopilot functions

What the module consists of

  • VorlesungFundamentals of flight control conveyed through lecture and presentation
  • Übung / AufgabenDeepening through a collection of exercises and discussion of solution sheets
  • SimulatorpraktikumInteractive implementation and visualization of flight control systems using a flight simulator

Teaching method

  • Vortrag und PräsentationIntroduction and structured conveyance of the theoretical foundations
  • Aufgabensammlung mit LösungsblätternIndependent practice and consolidation of what has been learned
  • Interaktiver FlugsimulatorPractical implementation and illustrative demonstration of control functions

    Fun lecture, but make sure to get a seat in the middle. Otherwise, you'll be called to solve questions on the board.
