Flight Dynamics with Tensors

Dive into the world of Flight Dynamics with Tensors, a cutting-edge approach that leverages the power of tensors to analyze and design complex aerospace systems. This free course, available on Udemy, is perfect for beginners with basic skills in matrix algebra and differential equations.

Learn the fundamentals of tensor algebra through practical examples like modeling the landing of expanded boosters on barges. Master the concept of the rotational time derivative and understand how it enables kinematics to be formulated independent of coordinate systems. Explore point-mass trajectories for rockets, hypersonic vehicles, and UAVs, and delve into the six-degrees-of-freedom equations used for evaluating the transient responses of missiles and aircraft.

This course is based on the textbook “Introduction to Tensor Flight Dynamics,” published in 2020 by the instructor. The textbook provides detailed derivations of the equations of motion and features numerous aerospace applications. Take advantage of this free opportunity to gain valuable insights into the future of flight dynamics and enhance your skills in aerospace engineering.
