Flight control system design using classical control theory

Part I: Example
An airplane is found to have poor short-period flying qualities in a particular flight regime. To
improve flying qualities, a stability augmentation system using state feedback is to be employed.
Determine the feedback gains so that the airplane’s short-period characteristics are
λ sp=−2.1 ± 2.14 i. Assume that the original short-period dynamics are given by.

Since rank of V is 2, the system is completely controllable.

specific performance requirements, please try to achieve satisfactory responses
e.g., low overshoot, short response, zero steady-state error, etc.
