Introduction to Tensor Flight Dynamics by Dr Peter H Zipfel

I wrote this introduction for the novice, who wants to acquire a firm foundation of Tensor Flight Dynamics. You need only the basic skills of matrix algebra and differential equations to learn my tensor approach and solve the forty-two problems (some requiring MATLAB®). As an additional challenge, twelve projects are included in this THIRD EDITION. With 98 figures, 14 tables, and 318 pages of instructions you can immerse yourself into my novel formulation of flight dynamics. What’s Inside? Geometry. How to model the position and orientation of flight vehicles with tensors, which then are converted to matrices via coordinate systems for computation. Read more
