- The ability to stabilize an aircraft without a pilot, also known as an autopilot, opened the door to many new civilian and military technologies. In this introductory section of flight control fundamentals, we discuss the early motivation of the flight control system, the first autopilot demonstration in 1914, how this development led to the first cruise missile technologies, how drawbacks of mechanical flight control technology lead to the first fly by wire systems, how digital fly by wire flight control enables the performance of today’s aircraft, and how digital fly by wire will continue to be a framework from which advancements in control algorithms directly translate improved aircraft performance.

I understand that most people dont have a use for the information in these videos, but these videos are well made and the series keeps continuing. This deserves more attention.
I appreciate your statement! I'm in a niche topic but an important and useful one. More coming soon.
Ben, what a wonderful collection of photos and videos! Peter
Thank you, Peter! It's great to hear from you! That's what I enjoyed most about making it, finding the various pictures and videos. It's incredible what's out there.
i love this series! hope it continues
Great to hear! Yes, in the future more videos will come.
Great video Dr. Ben! I'll be watch this series!
Thanks, Dawn! I'm enjoying planning out the next video.
Very Informative video Dr.Ben. Thanks a lot. Your website is very helpful too
Thanks, Waleed! Very good to know you find the information of value.
Wonderful material, thanks.
Thanks, I particularly enjoyed the historical journey in producing this video.
@@LearnGandC The historical perspective makes the learning process much easier, cheers.
I don't guess its correct to say that Sparry built the first cruise missile. He built the first kamikaze drone.
It's interesting that history seems to have come full circle on the kamikaze drone, although it's only been commonly referred to as a drone in the past 20 years.
The early winged-bombs, which fit today's definition of a drone, were predecessors to today's cruise missiles. But, they both have a common function: to deliver a payload to a surface-target over long distances without a human on board, sacrificing itself in the process.
Awesome videos, also, control creates capability is quite literally my engineering motto
It's so true! Thanks Alex.
You are awesome 👌 keep up the good work 👍
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Very useful video. Thank you so much.
Thanks Raktim!
@@LearnGandC Please suggest the best books on flight control.
I've always liked Stevens and Lewis' book, Aircraft Control and Simulation." Blakelock's 2nd Edition of Automatic Control of Aircraft and Missiles" is also a personal favorite. But, there are many good references, so I'd recommend if you are seriously interested in the subject, to gradually grow your library to other titles.
@@LearnGandC Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I am extremely interested in GNC of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, launch vehicles.
That's great! It's a wonderful technical field that one can continue to learn and develop skills in throughout their entire career.
This greatly helped me in making my fly by wire program, you can see the aircraft in my videos.
Thanks alot
Cool videos, what's the simulator environment?
@@LearnGandC Space Sim with a Unity Engine called SimpleRockets .
It also has in-game Simplified C# for making any kind of program.
Hi. I want to simulate an article on autopilot. Can you help me?
If only I had the time!
