Automatic Flight Control Systems by Mohammad Sadraey - 1st edition 2020 - 1 recurso en línea (XIV, 159 páginas) - Synthesis Lectures on Mechanical Engineering 2573-3176 .

Preface -- Fundamentals of Automatic Flight Control Systems -- Closed-Loop Control Systems -- Attitude Control Systems -- Flight Path Control Systems -- Stability Augmentation Systems -- Command Augmentation Systems -- References -- Author's Biography.

This book provides readers with a design approach to the automatic flight control systems (AFCS). The AFCS is the primary on-board tool for long flight operations, and is the foundation for the airspace modernization initiatives. In this text, AFCS and autopilot are employed interchangeably. It presents fundamentals of AFCS/autopilot, including primary subsystems, dynamic modeling, AFCS categories/functions/modes, servos/actuators, measurement devices, requirements, functional block diagrams, design techniques, and control laws. The book consists of six chapters. The first two chapters cover the fundamentals of AFCS and closed-loop control systems in manned and unmanned aircraft. The last four chapters present features of Attitude control systems (Hold functions), Flight path control systems (Navigation functions), Stability augmentation systems, and Command augmentation systems, respectively.
