and assuming no control inputs, the simplified form of a state-space model for the DR oscillatory mode can be expressed as [2]

Solving for the eigenvalues of the characteristic equation yields the following expressions for the natural frequency and damping ratio for this oscillatory mode:
YpNr — NpYr + Щщ Frequency Vdr = u0 |

Example 5.6
The state-space model of the DR mode of a supersonic fighter aircraft is given as
With the derivatives incorporated into this model we obtain
-0.139 2.218/75- 1.125 -0.571
Solution
Following the procedure outlined in previous examples, four TFs are obtained (Table 5.4). The frequency responses are shown in Figure 5.7. The unit step responses for sideslip and yaw rate are shown in Figure 5.8; the lightness of the damping is evident from these responses.
