Zipfel P. Modeling and Simulation of Aerospace Vehicle Dynamics

2nd ed. — American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., Reston, Virginia, 2007. 621 p. — ISBN13: 978-1-56347-875-8 (alk. paper), ISBN10: 1-56347-875-7 (alk. paper).This book unifies all aspects of flight dynamics for the efficient development of aerospace vehicle simulations. Now in its second edition, its purpose is still to provide the reader with a complete set of tools to build, program, and execute simulations. Unlike other books, it uses tensors for modeling flight dynamics in a form invariant under coordinate transformations. For implementation, the tensors are converted into matrices, resulting in compact computer code.OverviewVirtual Engineering
