    This document discusses state-space formulation and stability analysis of aircraft longitudinal dynamics. It provides an example of analyzing the short period and phugoid modes of a Boeing 747 using its stability derivatives. The eigenvalues and modes are approximated. Finally, it discusses how specific stability derivatives influence the damping and frequency of the short period and phugoid modes.

    State-Space

    We have state-space representation of


    form

    Recall:
    • Eigenvalues of 𝐴 define stability of
    𝒙 = 𝐴𝒙.
    • 𝐴 is 4 × 4, so 𝐴 has 4 eigenvalues.
    • Stable if all eigenvalues (𝜆 = 𝜉 + 𝑖𝜂)
    have negative real parts.
