This book was first published and during that time there has been a modest but steady demand for the book. It is apparent that during this period there has been a growing recognition in academic circles that it is more appropriate to teach �Aircraft stability and control�� in a systems context, rather than the traditional aerodynamic context and this is a view endorsed by industry. This is no doubt due to the considerable increase in application of automatic flight control to all types of aircraft and to the ready availability of excellent computer tools for handling the otherwise complex calculations. Thus the relevance of the book is justified and this has been endorsed by positive feedback from readers all over the world. This book is primarily intended for undergraduate and post graduate students studying aeronautical subjects and those students studying avionics, systems engineering, control engineering, mathematics, etc. who wish to include some flight dynamics in their studies. Of necessity the scope of the book is limited to linearised small perturbation aircraft models since the material is intended for those coming to the subject for the first time.The classical linearised theory of the stability and control of aircraft is timeless, it is brilliant in its relative simplicity and it is very securely anchored in the domain of the aerodynamicist.
