Abstract
To model a rocket’s attitude plant with gimbaled nozzle and reaction jet actuators. To design and analyze a rocket’s roll, pitch, and yaw control systems using single-variable and multi-variable methods.

Notes
- 1.
Some short-range rockets – such as the German V-2 and the Russian SCUD – alternatively use graphite vanes at nozzle exit to generate limited control moments by rotation and deflection of the exhaust gases.
- 2.
Since \(V = W = R = 0\) for each of the two equilibria, we will denote the perturbations in sideslip (V ), downward speed (W), and yaw-rate, (R), by capital letters.
- 3.
In order to avoid confusion, we have denoted yaw-rate perturbation as R(t).
