    This document outlines the course objectives and outcomes for a Flight Dynamics course. The course aims to teach students how to perform preliminary aircraft design calculations using steady and accelerated flight performance. By the end of the course, students will be able to evaluate aircraft performance characteristics, interpret aircraft range, endurance, climbing, gliding and maneuvering performances, illustrate aircraft stability, and correlate lateral and directional stability. Students will gain hands-on experience using MATLAB to analyze aircraft stability and dynamics.

    FLIGHT DYNAMICS

    COURSE OBJECTIVES
    Make the students solve the preliminary aircraft design calculations using the steady and
    accelerated flight performance.

    COURSE OUTCOMES
    After completing this course, the student will be able to:
     Evaluate the performance characteristics like aerodynamic forces and power
    variations of aircraft.
     Interpret the range, endurance, climbing, gliding and various manoeuvring
    performances of an aircraft along with load factor and its limitations.
     Illustrate the degrees of freedom and static longitudinal stability attained in aircraft.
     Correlate the aircraft's lateral and directional stability.
     Estimate the response of aircraft in various oscillatory modes of aircraft stability.

    Knowledge gained on Tools: MATLAB (moderate).
