Question: The transfer function for an AFTI / F - 1 6 aircraft relating angle of attack, ( t ) , to elevator de - flection,

The transfer function for an AFTI/F-16 aircraft relating angle of attack, (t), to elevator de-
flection, e(t), is given by
G(s)=0.072(s+3)(s2+0.05s+0.04)(s+0.7)(s+1.7)(s2+0.08s+0.04)
Assume the block diagram shown in Figure 2 for controlling the angle of attack, , and do
the following:
a) For Gc=1, find the following:
What is the system type and the appropriate error constant associated with the
system type?
What are the Gain-Margin and Phase Margin?
Plot the s-plane and define if the system is stable or not.
b) Use MATABL to design a PD controller to have a percent overshoot 3%, rise time
0.2 second.
c) Use MATLAB to simulate your controlled system. Compare the results of the simula-
tion with the requirements in Part (b).
