Exclusions
Description	In this module students will extend the concepts of stability from LI Airframe Design and Flight Dynamics into dynamic applications. Students will explore methods to predict and control the stability of aircraft and study the effects of aircraft design on stability, control and performance.
Learning Outcomes	These link to the AHEP v4 learning outcomes: Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Some of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study (C1) Analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles (C2) Use a risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks (the effects of uncertainty) associated with a particular project or activity (C9/M9) Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks (C10/M10) Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to investigate complex problems (C12/M12) Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes, recognising their limitations (C13/M13) Apply a comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Much of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study and informed by a critical awareness of new developments and the wider context of engineering (M1)
