Hey everyone!

In this video I'm going to be explaning the forces acting on an aircraft, along with deriving the equations of motion. Most college and university textbooks on aerospace engineering derive these equations in a very complicated manner. This video aims to simplify the concepts and intuitively explain flight dynamics.

This video assumes you have a basic understanding of dynamics, vectors, and Newton's Laws of motion, along with yaw, pitch, roll angles
