    This document provides a course profile for AE 341 Aircraft Dynamics, a 3 credit course offered in the winter term. The course introduces students to the dynamics and control of atmospheric flight vehicles through nonlinear equations of motion, stability derivatives, and linearized equations. Topics covered include dynamic equations, linear systems theory, lateral flight dynamics, and flight simulation software. Assessment is through individual homework, hour-long exams, and a final exam. The course objectives are to teach essentials of aircraft kinematics and dynamics, familiarize students with nonlinear equations of motion, teach linearization techniques, and employ simulation software. Course outcomes are that students can simulate aircraft systems, understand dynamics models and assumptions, linearize models, understand linear systems concepts, and aircraft
