Aerospace Controls Group
Welcome to the Flight Mechanics and Controls Group at the School of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. The many past and present activities include research in flight dynamics, aerodynamics design, robust and adaptive control. This work is applied to a variety of aerospace vehicles in many different experiments. It includes a wealth of experience gained in the application of associated hardware and software. The Controls Group website is currently being upgraded. Most project and lab sites have not been migrated yet. This migration should be complete by January 2008. **
