#15 - HISTORY OF FLIGHT STABLITY, CONTROL & FLYING QUALITIEs
This lecture from Professor Haithem Taha at UC Irvine explores how the aeronautical community's understanding of flight stability and control evolved, highlighting that discovery wasn't always linear, from the Wright brothers' initial focus on control over stability, to the later appreciation of pilot-aircraft interaction. The discussion leads us through a wonderful historical journey that will become a companion to the engineer's technical endeavours.
