UCK441E FLIGHT STABILITY AND CONTROL
CLASS PROJECT
Due 10 January 2016 at 18:00
Now that based on your student number’s last digit, you are assigned an aircraft from Nelson Appendix B at a particular flight condition, here is the Design Challenge Class Project:
1. PART A : Understanding Your Aircraft's Behavior (5pts)
Using the stability coefficients given for your aircraft, program the longitudinal and lateral equations
of motion. For both of these dynamics (i.e. longitudinal and lateral)
a) Find the natural frequencies using both the general set of equations and approximations (i.e. such
as short-period or dutch-roll mode approximation). Compare both of the solutions and provide
insight to why the solutions are different or close to each other.
b) Identify and categorize the class and flight phase of your aircraft. Based on the flying handling
qualities, rate your aircraft's level. At this level, we assume that there is no active any stability and
flight augmentation control system design. If you are excited, you can try to give a pseudo pilot
Cooper-Harper scale rating also.
2. PART B : Stability Augmentation System Design (5pts+ 3pts Bonus)
Taking the flying handling qualities and your gut judgment as the norm, improve or enhance flying
characteristics of your aircraft:
a) Design a longitudinal stability augmentation system for the short-period mode. You can do this in
a straightforward fashion using the rate and gain feedback techniques and examples shown in
class.
b) Design a lateral stability augmentation system for the dutch-roll mode. You can do this in a
straightforward fashion using the rate and gain feedback techniques and examples shown in class.
c) BONUS (3pt.): To get the bonus, include the dynamics of the actuators (i.e. the servo dynamics)
on your controller synthesis and while evaluating the response of your aircraft. For all the systems
expect thrust assume that the dynamics look like this : for example;
for the elevator it can 𝛿𝑒_𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡
𝛿𝑒_𝑖𝑛𝑝𝑢𝑡=
8
𝑠+8 and for the throttle (i.e. the engine dynamics) assume that
it looks something like 𝛿𝑡_𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡
𝛿𝑡_𝑖𝑛𝑝𝑢𝑡=
1
𝑠+1.

3. PART C : Autopilot Mode System Design (8 pts)
To have these extra points directly affecting your grade, review Chapter 8 of Nelson one more time
and design these autopilot modes including the servo dynamics:
a) Either a pitch displacement autopilot or roll attitude autopilot. (2 Pts)
b) Either an altitude hold control system or velocity hold control system. (2 Pts)
c) Design a coordinated turn control system (See Fig. 1) for the aircraft by using root-locus method.
Plot the response of the closed-loop system and rudder control signal for 𝛿𝑎 = +2° pilot step
input. (2 Pts)
Figure 1: Block diagram of system using sideslip to obtain coordination.
d) After you designed the linear control systems, evaluate the amplitude of the control signals
which are fed to the aircraft control surface actuators. Add saturations to the control systems as
mentioned below. Plot the control signal of the closed-loop systems. If necessary, re-design the
control systems. (1 Pts)
- Elevator deflection limit, 𝛿𝑒 = ±30°
- Aileron deflection limit, 𝛿𝑎 = ±30°
- Rudder deflection limit, 𝛿𝑟 = ±30°
- Select and apply an appropriate control signal limit for the velocity hold autopilot of your
aircraft.
e) Obtain the closed-loop responses and control signals of the systems that you chose in 3a and
3b for initial conditions given below: (1 Pts)
- For pitch displacement control system, Δ𝜃0 = 5°
- For roll attitude control system, Δ𝜙0 = 5°
- For altitude hold control system, Δℎ0 = −5 𝑚
- For velocity hold control system, Δ𝑉0 = −20 𝑚/𝑠

Important Note
Please note that we provide the below parameters for your associated aircraft. These parameters will be
sufficient for you to do many of the designs. Given your design approach, there can be needs for finding
or approximating stability or control derivatives. In these cases, we expect you to do literature search to
find these parameters, or approximate these parameters through additional computation or just by
making engineering and logical approximations. In this case, do not forget to reference and note the details
of your approximation and thinking.
Include plots, figures, equations and your code to support your results!!! If you do not provide it you will
not get any marks!!!! Cheating at any part (including replicating code,etc…) means automatic zero!!!
If you cannot find some of the aerodynamic coefficients of the assigned aircraft, you can use additional
reference book which is given below.
