Dynamics, Simulation and Control Group
The Dynamics, Simulation and Control Group is concerned with the theoretical and experimental aspects of the dynamics, stability and control of all classes of air vehicle. Particular interests include classical stability and control, modern control system design, command and stability augmentation, guidance systems design, flying and handling qualities assessment, aircraft performance, aircraft parameter identification, flight simulation and flight test. Staff of the Group have many years relevant industrial experience with proven expertise in the above fields of interest. Facilities available to the Group, for both teaching and research, include various wind tunnels and dynamic test rig, the John Shepherd Systems Laboratory, a large fixed base flight simulator, a professional experimental test pilot and a fully instrumented flying laboratory aircraft.
