Aerospace Dynamics: Course Description
This course, taught by Professors Jonathan How and John Deyst, uses equations and principles of motion for studying the dynamics of aircraft flights and spacecrafts' height above the surface of the Earth. Through a series of assignments and lectures, students learn to apply vector kinematics to the rotation and translation of rigid bodies. They also use Lagrangian and Newtonian methods to derive a formula for and solve equations of motion. Other topics covered in 'Aerospace Dynamics' include gyroscopes, axisymmetric rotations, aircraft dynamics - longitudinal and lateral, coriolis and LaGrange's equations. This course is part of the curriculum in MIT's Aeronautics and Astronautics Department.
'Aerospace Dynamics' consists of lecture notes, course assignments and midterm exams. To access this free online course, visit the aerospace dynamics course page.
