Modeling Flight Dynamics with Tensors

Get a comprehensive understanding of modeling flight dynamics with tensors, completely free of cost! This course, available on Udemy, takes you on an in-depth exploration of tensor flight dynamics, building upon fundamental concepts and delving into advanced applications.

Learn the basics of tensor algebra, explore kinematics with the rotational time derivative and Euler’s transformation, and understand Newton’s Second Law in an invariant tensor form.

Discover the attitude equations-of-motion through Euler’s Law, and gain valuable insights into gyrodynamics. This course moves beyond rigid bodies, applying dynamic laws to particles and combining them to form rigid bodies.

Master the perturbation technique for linearized state equations, enabling you to formulate the perturbation equations-of-motion for both steady and unsteady reference flight.

The course, developed by an experienced professor with 15 years of teaching experience at the University of Florida, includes three practice problems after each lecture, along with detailed solutions for verification and assistance. Enhance your skills in flight dynamics, tensor analysis, and aerospace engineering with this free online course.
