Advanced Control of Aircraft, Spacecraft and Rockets features worked examples and problems at the end of each chapter as well as a number of MATLAB/ Simulink examples housed on an accompanying website at http://home.iitk.ac.in/~ashtew that are realistic and representative of the state-of-the-art in flight control.

• Presents a unified approach to aircraft, rocket and spacecraft flight control systems
• Includes chapters on nonlinear, optimal control techniques with numerical solution methods, robust and adaptive guidance, navigation, and attitude control for atmospheric and space flight vehicles
• Allows the reader to test their grasp of the concepts presented via numerous pedagogical features including worked-out examples and problems at the end of each chapter, as well as case studies, short 'knowledge-check' questions, and longer assignments including coding and examination questions
•  Appropriate for both intermediate and advanced level courses on automatic control of aircraft, spacecraft, and rocket, with emphasis on non-trivial, multi-variable applications.
