Yaw stabilization of landing craft

The purpose of this work was to investigate the application of pump jet propulsion and yaw angle stabilization for a landing craft going through the surf. Linear theory was used throughout the analysis of the control problem. The stability indices and derivatives were determined in part by experi...
