Kern Aerospace
Aviation. Safety. Leadership.
My name is David Kern, and I am passionate about aerospace.
I wrote a book explaining fly-by-wire flight control systems for professional pilots.
I develop and teach online courses related to flight test engineering and risk control at Daedalus Aerospace.
You can also talk to me about strategies for developing new aerospace vehicles and systems. Thank you for visiting, and please look me up on LinkedIn
Books By David Kern
The professional pilot’s guide to understanding modern aircraft controls
Readers will learn:
- Problems with mechanical/cable flight control designs
- Why are four computers better than one or two?
- Advantages of fly-by-wire and popular control laws
- What sensors are needed, and why
- Design considerations for risk mitigation
“An outstanding supplement to any Pilots Operating Manual for those already piloting FBW aircraft.”

Our courses communicate the same concepts that are currently taught at leading test pilot schools, but few have opportunity to attend – let alone can afford the time and cost. Courses like “Flight Test 101” and “Flight Test Risk Management” are available on-demand to your team.
