1 A IRCRAFT D YNAMICS AND K INEMATICS
Nature of Aircraft dynamics and kinematics in three-dimensional (3D)
space can be described by a set of Equations of Motion (EOM), which
contains six degrees of freedom: three translational modes and three
rotational modes. In the equations, it needs to define the forces and
moments acting on the vehicle since it is the factors responsible for
the motion. Therefore, the modeling of the forces and moments is a
must. The mathematical model of forces and moments include the
aerodynamic, propulsion system and gravity. These models will be
discussed in detail in this chapter.
In this chapter, first we briefly overview the coordinate systems
that used as the reference frame for the description of aircraft motion.
Then, a complete nonlinear model of the aircraft motion will be
discussed briefly.

aerodynamic lift vector is along the negative z w axis while the
aerodynamic drag is along the negative xw axis. Since the equations of
motion are derived in body axes system, it needs to express all forces

Quaternions were discovered by Sir William Hamilton in 1843. He used
quaternion for extensions of vector algebras to satisfy the properties
of division rings (roughly, quotients exist in the same domain as the
operands). It has been widely discussed as interesting topic in algebra
and for its amazing applicability in dynamics.
The following paragraphs discuss the application of Quaternion
starting with its definition while more detail discussion will be
presented in Appendix C. Quaternion is define as

1.2 A IRCRAFT EQUATIO NS O F MOTIO N
The equations of motion are derived based on Newton law. They were
first derived by Euler, a great mathematician. It is the reason why the
equations of motion are dedicated to Newton and Euler.
The solutions of the complete equations of motion provide the
characteristics of motion of any solid body in three-dimensional space,
three translational and three angular motions. Therefore they called
the six degree of freedom (6-DOF) equations of motion. These
equations are very general and apply for all rigid bodies, e.g. aircrafts,
rockets and satellites.
The 6-DOF equations of motion consists a set of nonlinear first
ordinary differential equations (ODES). They express the motions of
the aircraft in terms of external forces and moments, which can be
subdivided in a number of categories such as aerodynamics, control
surface, propulsion system, and gravity. In this section, the equations
of motion will be presented along with all relevant force and moment
equations and a large number of output equations of which some are
needed to calculate these forces and moments.

coordinated at the body axes system. Upon decomposition, the
resulting three scalar force equations become:

For conventional aircraft which is symmetrical to oxb zb plane,
the cross inertial products are very small and can be assumed to be
zero ( J xy 0 and J yz 0 ). Under this condition, Eqn. (2-27) can be
simplified as
I xx I yy I zz I yy J xz2 (1-28)
By assuming the inertia tensor is constant which implies I = 0, Eqn. (2-

Aerodynamic forces and moments are function of some parameters.
They can be written as:

Equation (1-33) shows that the aerodynamic forces and
moments are very complicated. Due to the limitation of methods and
tools available for determining the aerodynamic coefficients as
function of parameters shown in Eqn. (1-33), the simpler aerodynamic
model will be used for the simulation, see Eqns. (1-34) and (1-35).
These equations are adopted from aircraft control model.
In aircraft control studies which the interest is laying in the

This chapter presents tracking control design of a small-scale
unmanned helicopter (Yamaha R-50) using Linear Quadratic Regulator
(LQR) technique [10]. We proposed scheme involves two steps: (1)
generate a path/trajectory off-line and (2) apply a time-invariant LQR
to track the path/trajectory. Numerical simulation using
MATLAB/Simulink® is carried out to demonstrate the feasibility of the
control system. Physical parameter of R-50 helicopter is presented in

The path generator was developed by a simple idea, i.e. setting the
trajectory/path in the inertial reference and then finding its velocity
profile. This method can be expressed in the following relation:
x x t x t Vx t
y y t and y t Vy t
z z t z t Vz t
(2-7)
And the total velocity is
VT Vx2 Vy2 Vz2 (2-8)
The total velocity VT must be less or equal to the maximum velocity of
the helicopter, and it is assumed to be constant. We assume that the
u0 2 v0 2 49.22 11
2
maximum velocity of the helicopter is =
50.4 ft/s, and therefore we take VT = 50 ft/s for simulation.
The inertial frame, by definition, is chosen such that the positive z-
axis is downward. We then set positive x-axis is eastward, and
therefore the positive y-axis is southward. But for our convenience, we
choose local horizon as inertial frame where the positive x-axis is
eastward, the positive y-axis is northward, and the positive z-axis is
upward. So we need to transform the original inertial frame to the
local horizon frame. The transformation can be expressed as follows:
X E 1 0 0 X I
YE 0 1 0 YI
Z 0 0 1 Z
(2-9)
E I
or inversely:

To give more precise understanding of this method, we present
here three examples. The first example is generating horizontal
circular trajectory (Figure 2-4). The second example is generating
horizontal rectangular trajectory (Figure 2-6). And the third example is
generating (3D) spiral trajectory (Figure 2-8).

we then take the derivative of Eqs. (38) respect to time, yields

if we set xref t constant then the time derivative of Eqs. (39) can be

Now, we are going to implement the path tracking controller. Our
motivation is to minimizing the tracking error matrix x error . Where the
tracking error matrix is
xerror t xref t x t
xerror t yerror t yref t y t
zerror t zref t z t
(2-19)
where xerror , yerror , zerror are error in x, y, and z position in body axis

Substituting x u , y v , z w to Eqs. (43) yields

we choose the value such that 1 = 2 = 3 = = 0.1 by trial and

Yaw damper is a SAS (Stability Augmentation System) which augment
the stability of dutch roll mode of an aircraft. The principle of this
control system is giving command to rudder which causes a moment
against yaw rate which finally damp the dutch roll. This control system
sense yaw rate and use it for feedback. The following figure shows the
block diagram of yaw damper system.

Coordinated turn maneuver is a turn maneuver with zero lateral
acceleration at constant altitude. The absent of lateral acceleration
make aircraft passengers feel comfort during the maneuver. This
maneuver is difficult to do since it needs good coordination of control
surface (elevator, aileron and ruder) deflection. Therefore an
automatic control is needed for it.

Virtual Reality (VR) toolbox is already available in MATLAB 6.0 and the
higher versions. However, the examples and user guide for the toolbox
are available only for simple cases. Therefore, those who want to use
the toolbox in advance should study the toolbox in deep themselves.
The author has studied the toolbox for hours before using the toolbox
for simulating aircraft. MATLAB 7.0 has been used for the simulation.
The author suggests the reader to utilize the computer set with
minimum specifications of: processor 1 GHz, RAM 256 MB, and Video
Memory 32 MB.
The following paragraphs will discuss the detail procedures of
using the toolbox, particularly for XW aircraft. The motivation of
writing this user guide is to provide comprehensive information to the
readers that will give them the skill on using the VR toolbox.
3.2.1.1 D E FI NI NG TH E PR OBLE M
Our problem is to visualize the motions of XW aircraft in the VR world.
The motions defined here are three translational and three rotational
motions of the craft. The requirements for this visualization are: the
position w.r.t. x , y and z axes of VR frame (see Section 3.2) and the
attitude angles ( , and ).
3.2.1.2 C R E ATE VI RT UAL W OR LD
To create a virtual world, the author chose the following steps to
achieve the best result:
Aircraft Flight Dynamics, Control and Using MATLAB and SIMULINK: Cases and Singgih Satrio Wibowo
Simulation Algorithm Approach
Flight Simulation 77
(1) Drawing the 3D aircraft and 3D virtual environment in AutoCAD
and then export them into 3D Studio file type. It is important to
note that the smaller the files size the faster the visualization
(simulation) process. The author suggests that to obtain a faster
visualization, the files size should not be more than 10 MB.
(2) Importing the 3D Studio file into V-Realm Builder and then
editing the file.
(3) Saving the virtual orld hi h has ee edited usi g File\Save
As o a d. This file ill e sa ed auto ati ally i V‘ML type

visualization. Note: Do ot use “ave o a d e ause the
file will be saved in original file type (*.3ds) but different
format.
Figure E.1 shows the 3D model of WiSE-8 craft. The 3D model
should be drawn in the actual scale and standard dimension (meter)
because the VR dimension is in meter. Other important things are: (1)
setting the attitude of WiSE craft such that the xb -axis is coincide with
x -axis of UCS world system, yb -axis is coincide with z -axis of UCS
world system and zb -axis is coincide with negative y -axis of UCS
world system. It is important since the UCS world will be defined as
the VR frame by V-Realm Builder, (2) setting the origin of UCS coincide
with the aircraft center of gravity.

F IGURE 3-20 T HE VR S INK AFTER VR PARAMETER EDITING
Before connecting the VR Sink to Simulink model, it is very important
to note that (1) the translation input of VR Sink is in the form of vector
containing three elements [X,Y,Z], in which each element defines the
recent position in meter w.r.t. VR frame, and (2) the rotation input for
VR Sink is in the form of vector containing four elements [Xr,Yr,Zr,],
where Xr, Yr, and Zr define the vector of rotation w.r.t. VR frame and
defines the rotation angle in radian. Please note that the unit for
rotation input is radian, it is differs from orientation angle input
(degree). Since the outputs of WiSE-8 simulation are in local horizon
frame, we need to transform the output into VR frame. The
transformation matrix from local horizon to VR frame is already shown
in Equation (3-1). For convenience, the equation will be rewritten
here.

Continuous System Analysis: Some Basic Commands
A. Transfer Function Representation
Commands covered:
tf2zp
zp2tf
cloop
feedback
parallel
series
Transfer functions are defined in MATLAB by storing the coefficients of the numerator and
the denominator in vectors. Given a continuous-time transfer function
( )
� =
( )
where
= � � + �−1 �−1 + ⋯ + 0 and = � � + �−1 �−1 + ⋯ + 0 written in their
coefficients, A(s) in numerator vectors num = [1 aN-1 ... a0] and B(s) is denominator den =
[bM bM-1 ... b0].
In this text,
the names of the vectors are generally chosen to be num and den, but any other name could
be used.
For example,
2 + 3
�( ) = 3+ 4 2+ 5
is defined by
num = [2 3];
den = [1 4 0 5];
Note that all coefficients must be included in the vector, even zero coefficients.
A transfer function may also be defined in terms of its zeros, poles and gain:
H(s) =
k(s- z )(s- z ) (s-z )
(s- p )(s- p ) (s-p )

Appendix B 94

The overall transfer function of individual systems in parallel, series or feedback can be found
using
MATLAB. Consider block diagram reduction of the different configurations shown in Figure
1.
Store the transfer function G in numG and denG, and the transfer function H in numH and
denH.
To reduce the general feedback system to a single transfer function, Gcl(s) =
G(s)/(1+G(s)H(s)) type
[numcl,dencl] = feedback(numG,denG,numH,denH);
For a unity feedback system, let numH = 1 and denH = 1 before applying the above
algorithm. Alternately, use the command
[numcl,dencl] = cloop(numG,denG,-1);
To reduce the series system to a single transfer function, Gs(s) = G(s)H(s) type
[nums,dens] = series(numG,denG,numH,denH);
To reduce the parallel system to a single transfer function, Gp(s) = G(s) + H(s) type
[nump,denp] = parallel(numG,denG,numH,denH);

B. Time Simulations
Commands covered: residue
step
impulse
lsim
The analytical method to find the time response of a system requires taking the inverse
Laplace
Transform of the output Y(s). MATLAB aides in this process by computing the partial
fraction
Aircraft Flight Dynamics, Control and Using MATLAB and SIMULINK: Cases and Singgih Satrio Wibowo
Simulation Algorithm Approach
Appendix B 95
expansion of Y(s) using the command residue. Store the numerator and denominator
coefficients of Y(s) in num and den, then type
[r,p,k] = residue(num,den)
The residues are stored in r, the corresponding poles are stored in p, and the gain is stored in
k.
Once the partial fraction expansion is known, an analytical expression for y(t) can be
computed by
hand.
A numerical method to find the response of a system to a particular input is available in
MATLAB.
First store the numerator and denominator of the transfer function in num and den,
respectively.
To plot the step response, type
step(num,den)
13
To plot the impulse response, type
impulse(num,den)
For the response to an arbitrary input, use the command lsim. Create a vector t which
contains
the time values in seconds at which you want MATLAB to calculate the response. Typically,
this is
done by entering
t = a:b:c;
where a is the starting time, b is the time step and c is the end time. For smooth plots,
choose b
so that there are at least 300 elements in t (increase as necessary). Define the input x as a
function of time, for example, a ramp is defined as x = t. Then plot the response by typing
lsim(num,den,x,t);
To customize the commands, the time vector can be defined explicitly and the step response
can be
saved to a vector. Simulating the response for five to six time constants generally is sufficient
to
show the behavior of the system. For a stable system, a time constant is calculated as 1/Re(-p)
where p is the pole that has the largest real part (i.e., is closest to the origin).
For example, consider a transfer function defined by
H(s) =
2
s+ 2
4
The step response y is calculated and plotted from the following commands:
num = 2; den = [1 2];
t = 0:3/300:3; % for a time constant of 1/2
y = step(num,den,t);
plot(t,y)
For the impulse response, simply replace the word step with impulse. For the response to
an
arbitrary input stored in x, type
Aircraft Flight Dynamics, Control and Using MATLAB and SIMULINK: Cases and Singgih Satrio Wibowo
Simulation Algorithm Approach
Appendix B 96
y = lsim(num,den,x,t);
plot(t,y)
C. Frequency Response Plots
Commands covered:
freqs
bode
logspace
log10
semilogx
unwrap
To compute the frequency response H() of a transfer function, store the numerator and
denominator of the transfer function in the vectors num and den. Define a vector w that
contains
the frequencies for which H() is to be computed, for example w = a:b:c where a is the
lowest
frequency, c is the highest frequency and b is the increment in frequency. The command
H = freqs(num,den,w)
returns a complex vector H that contains the value of H() for each frequency in w.
To draw a Bode plot of a transfer function which has been stored in the vectors num and
den,
type
bode(num,den)
To customize the plot, first define the vector w which contains the frequencies at which the
Bode
plot will be calculated. Since w should be defined on a log scale, the command logspace
is
used. For example, to make a Bode plot ranging in frequencies from 10-1 to 102, define w by
w = logspace(-1,2);
The magnitude and phase information for the Bode plot can then be found be executing:
[mag,phase] = bode(num,den,w);
To plot the magnitude in decibels, convert mag using the following command:
magdb = 20*log10(mag);
To plot the results on a semilog scale where the y-axis is linear and the x-axis is logarithmic,
type
semilogx(w,magdb)
for the log-magnitude plot and type
semilogx(w,phase)
for the phase plot. The phase plot may contain jumps of ±2which may not be desired. To
remove
these jumps, use the command unwrap prior to plotting the phase.
semilogx(w,unwrap(phase))
E. Control Design
Commands covered: rlocus
Aircraft Flight Dynamics, Control and Using MATLAB and SIMULINK: Cases and Singgih Satrio Wibowo
Simulation Algorithm Approach
Appendix B 97
Consider a feedback loop as shown in Figure 1 where G(s)H(s) = KP(s) and K is a gain and
P(s)
contains the poles and zeros of the controller and of the plant. The root locus is a plot of the
roots
of the closed loop transfer function as the gain is varied. Suppose that the numerator and
denominator coefficients of P(s) are stored in the vectors num and den. Then the following
command computes and plots the root locus:
rlocus(num,den)
To customize the plot for a specific range of K, say for K ranging from 0 to 100, then use the
following commands:
K = 0:100;
r = rlocus(num,den,K);
plot(r,’.’)
The graph contains dots at points in the complex plane that are closed loop poles for integer
values
of K ranging from 0 to 100. To get a finer grid of points, use a smaller increment when
defining
K, for example, K = 0:.5:100. The resulting matrix r contains the closed poles for all of
the
gains defined in the vector K. This is particularly useful to calculate the closed loop poles for
one
particular value of K. Note that if the root locus lies entirely on the real axis, then using
plot(r,’.’) gives inaccurate results.
F. State Space Representation
Commands Covered: step
lsim
ss2tf
tf2ss
ss2ss
The standard state space representation is used in MATLAB, i.e.,
&x Ax Bu
y Cx
5
17
where x is nx1 vector, u is mx1, y is px1, A is nxn, B is nxm, and C is pxn. The response of a
system to various inputs can be found using the same commands that are used for transfer
function
representations: step, impulse, and lsim. The argument list contains the A, B, C, and
D
matrices instead of the numerator and denominator vectors. For example, the step response is
obtained by typing:
[y,x,t] = step(A,B,C,D);
The states are stored in x, the outputs in y and the time vector, which is automatically
generated,
Aircraft Flight Dynamics, Control and Using MATLAB and SIMULINK: Cases and Singgih Satrio Wibowo
Simulation Algorithm Approach
Appendix B 98
is stored in t. The rows of x and y contain the states and outputs for the time points in t.
Each
column of x represents a state. For example, to plot the second state versus time, type
plot(t,x(:,2))
To find the response of an arbitrary input or to find the response to initial conditions, use
lsim.
Define a time vector t and an input matrix u with the same number of rows as in t and the
number of columns equaling the number of inputs. An optional argument is the initial
condition
vector x0. The command is then given as
[y,x] = lsim(A,B,C,D,u,t,x0);
You can find the transfer function for a single-input/single-output (SISO) system using the
command:
[num,den] = ss2tf(A,B,C,D);
The numerator coefficients are stored in num and the denominator coefficients are stored in
den.
Given a transformation matrix P, the ss2ss function will perform the similarity transform.
Store the state space model in A, B, C and D and the transformation matrix in P.
[Abar,Bbar,Cbar,Dbar]=ss2ss(A,B,C,D,P);
performs the similarity transform z=Px resulting in a state space system that is defined as:
&x Ax Bu
y Cx Du

where A= PAP-1, B= PB, C = CP-1, D= D.
