Foreword
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. Albert Einstein
Since the early days of aviation, engineers with inventive talents had to overcome tremendous challenges. From building vehicles that can fly in a controllable manner designed and flown by pioneers like Lilienthal, Wright brothers, Sperry in the beginnings, to developing todays modern comfortable and reliable vehicles for daily routine all-weather operations (Airbus, Boeing and others), there were many creative efforts to improve performance (aircraft size, endurance, speed), minimize structural weight, provide necessary thrust, and guarantee safe flight operations. Nowadays all these inventions assure the high mobility of the modern human society in a global world. The aeronautical challenges were drivers for many new technologies and methodologies that are commonly used in other industries today. In the last three decades, the requirements for the design of high-performance flight control systems that enhance automation of flight, initiated a
