Abstract
Models of aircraft dynamics and their linearization can be found in standard books on aircraft dynamics and control, e.g. [81], [142], [189], [60]. When treated as a rigid body, an aircraft has six degrees of freedom of motion: three coordinates of the center of gravity position and three rotation coordinates for roll, yaw, and pitch. In stationary flight, two subsystems may be considered as decoupled:
-
i
The longitudinal motion in pitch, altitude, and longitudinal position.
-
ii
The lateral motion in roll, yaw, and sideward position.
