Book: Nonlinear problems in flight control have stimulated cooperation
among engineers and scientists from a range of disciplines. Developments in
computer technology allowed for numerical solutions of nonlinear control
problems, while industrial recognition and applications of nonlinear
mathematical models in solving technological problems is increasing. The aim of
the book Advances in Flight Control Systems is to bring together reputable
researchers from different countries in order to provide a comprehensive
coverage of advanced and modern topics in flight control not yet reflected by
other books. This product comprises 14 contributions submitted by 38 authors
from 11 different countries and areas. It covers most of the currents main
streams of flight control researches, ranging from adaptive flight control
mechanism, fault tolerant flight control, acceleration based flight control,
helicopter flight control, comparison of flight control systems and
fundamentals. According to these themes the contributions are grouped in six
categories, corresponding to six parts of the book.
