(10 points) This problem is best done using the aid of computer programming such as Python or MATLAB. The longitudinal aircraft equations of motion, linear state space form, of a particular aircraft at a particular flight condition, are given by
[uwq]=[-0.150.080.05-0.12-0.073-0.13100.827.37-0.1500010][uwq]
(a) Determine the eigenvalues of this system (which are same as the eigenvalues of the system matrix)
(b) Determine the damping ratio and natural frequency of each of the modes.
(c) Suitably modify the
