Flying Qualities is that discipline in the aeronautical sciences that is concerned with basic aircraft stability and pilot-in-the-loop controllability. With the advent of sophisticated flight control systems, vectored thrust, forward-swept wings, and negative static margins, the concept of flying qualities takes on added dimensions. In aeronautical literature there are three terms bandied about which are generally considered synonymous. These terms are flying qualities, stability and control, and handling qualities. Partial contents: Introduction to Flying Qualities; Vectors and Matrices; Differential Equations; Equations of Motion; Longitudinal Static Stability; Maneuvering Flight; Lateral-Directional Static Stability; Dynamic Stability; Roll Coupling; High Angle of Attack; Engine-Out Theory and Flight Testing; Aeroelasticity; Feedback Control Theory, and Flight Control Systems.
