Dynamic Stability

[stressmerchant]

Hi

I'm looking for a recommendation for a good textbook on fixed wing dynamic stability for subsonic aircraft. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

That's a fairly narrow subject within FW stability and control; if you've got a particular question you could do worse than ask it here.

But if you are looking for a single book, I'd go for Darrol Stinton's "Flying Qualities and Flight Testing of the Aeroplane", ISBN 0-632-02121-7

There are also some links to webpages on the PPrune tech log forum "sources of information" sticky that you are likely to find useful.

If you can get it 'Aircraft Stability and Control for Pilots and Engineers' by Sqn Ldr Barry Dickinson is an excellent reference
