: Establishes standard frames (Inertial, Vehicle, Body, Stability) to describe aircraft motion.
: Simplifies complex nonlinear equations into linear models suitable for classical and modern control design.
: Covers rigid-body dynamics, including the translation and rotation influenced by forces such as lift, thrust, and drag.
The "theory" component of the text provides a rigorous mathematical foundation for the dynamics and control of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS).
