Tutorial No.3: Bu Ax X

This tutorial provides instructions for designing a longitudinal autostabilizer for an aircraft using pole placement. It involves modeling the aircraft dynamics, analyzing the open-loop stability, designing feedback gains to place closed-loop poles, and evaluating the time and frequency responses of the augmented system. The tutorial guides the student to stabilize the aircraft, investigate parameter variations, and analyze the response characteristics of the closed-loop system.

3. PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS
Obtain the "open loop" transfer functions of the aircraft and determine its stability
characteristics.
4. STABILITY AUGMENTATION
Use the pole placement method to design a feed back matrix K to give the following modes
characteristics,
Insert the feedback gains in the appropriate boxes in the following block diagram of the flight
control system. Pay particular attention to the signs of the gains.
