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.

[@LearnGandC]

I appreciate your statement! I'm in a niche topic but an important and useful one. More coming soon.

[@retronexusio]

i love this series! hope it continues

[@LearnGandC]

Great to hear! Yes, in the future more videos will come.

Ben, what a wonderful collection of photos and videos! Peter

[@LearnGandC]

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.

Great video Dr. Ben! I'll be watch this series!

[@LearnGandC]

Thanks, Dawn! I'm enjoying planning out the next video.

Wonderful material, thanks.

[@LearnGandC]

Thanks, I particularly enjoyed the historical journey in producing this video.

[@-VHSorPlanetTelex]

@@LearnGandC The historical perspective makes the learning process much easier, cheers.

[@raktimpal641]

Very useful video. Thank you so much.

[@LearnGandC]

Thanks Raktim!

@@LearnGandC Please suggest the best books on flight control.

[@LearnGandC]

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.

[@raktimpal641]

@@LearnGandC Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I am extremely interested in GNC of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, launch vehicles.

[@LearnGandC]

That's great! It's a wonderful technical field that one can continue to learn and develop skills in throughout their entire career.

I don't guess its correct to say that Sparry built the first cruise missile. He built the first kamikaze drone.

[@LearnGandC]

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

[@LearnGandC]

It's so true! Thanks Alex.

[@hsh1197]

You are awesome 👌 keep up the good work 👍

[@LearnGandC]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching!

Hi. I want to simulate an article on autopilot. Can you help me?

[@LearnGandC]

If only I had the time!

[@thegloriousquran1208]

This greatly helped me in making my fly by wire program, you can see the aircraft in my videos. Thanks alot

[@LearnGandC]

Cool videos, what's the simulator environment?
