Advanced Control of Aircraft, Spacecraft and
Rockets introduces the reader to the concepts of
modern control theory applied to the design and
analysis of general flight control systems in a concise
and mathematically rigorous style. It presents a
comprehensive treatment of both atmospheric and
space flight control systems including aircraft,
rockets (missiles and launch vehicles), entry vehicles
and spacecraft (both orbital and attitude control).
The broad coverage of topics emphasizes the
synergies among the various flight control systems
and attempts to show their evolution from the same
set of physical principles as well as their design and

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Advanced Control of Aircraft, Spacecraft and Rockets introduces the reader to the concepts of modern control theory applied to the design and analysis of general
flight control systems in a concise and mathematically rigorous style. It presents a comprehensive treatment of both atmospheric and space flight control systems
including aircraft, rockets (missiles and launch vehicles), entry vehicles and spacecraft (both orbital and attitude control). The broad coverage of topics emphasizes
the synergies among the various flight control systems and attempts to show their evolution from the same set of physical principles as well as their design and
analysis by similar mathematical tools. In addition, this book presents state-of-art control system design methods - including multivariable, optimal, robust, digital
and nonlinear strategies - as applied to modern flight control systems.
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.
About the Author
Ashish Tewari is a Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the IIT-Kanpur. He specializes in flight mechanics and control, and his research
areas include attitude dynamics and control, re-entry flight dynamics and control, non-linear optimal control and active control of flexible flight and structures. He
has authored 2 books Atmospheric and Space Flight Dynamics and Modern Control Design with MATLAB and SIMULINK, and over 40 refereed journal and

Science of Intelligent Machines).
The book describes the topics on introductory material on controls, Flight Dynamic Models, Control
Design Techniques, Automatic Control of Aircraft, Rockets, and Spacecraft.
Some of the interesting and useful features of this book are that it treats both atmospheric and
space flight vehicles and the treatment of technical content with full integration of industry and
academia standard software such as MATLAB/Simulink with a practical touch in various
problems. Although no definite pre-requisite is required beyond dynamics, those with the necessary
background in dynamics and controls will enjoy reading the book. However, the author did a great
job in covering the necessary introductory material before introducing the advanced topics such as
optimal control and two-point boundary value problems etc. The book, with good collection of
exercises with answers, makes it an excellent choice for using it to teach relevant courses for
undergraduate senior or graduate junior year students in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical
Engineering. Others working in aerospace-related industry, federal labs will find it useful for self-
study. This reviewer has not seen the book [1] by the same author to say how much difference is
there between this and the present book under review. Read more
