Exclusions
Description	In this module students will extend the concepts of stability from LI Airframe Design and Flight Dynamics into dynamic 3-dimensional modes. Students will explore methods to predict and control the trajectory of aircraft. Students will also undertake practical flight testing and analyse the results.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate understanding of the concepts of aircraft static and dynamic stability in different flight regimes by using them to analyse and predict aircraft performance in those situations Analyse flight test data 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)
