I'm trying to create a state-space model for the pitch control of an aircraft as described here: https://ctms.engin.umich.edu/CTMS/index.php?example=AircraftPitch§ion=SystemModeling
The following equations are given for change in angle of attack and pitch rate:
Here's the translation of what any of those symbols mean:
$q$ = Pitch rate.
$\theta$ = Pitch angle.
$\delta$ = Elevator deflection angle.
$\mu = \frac{\rho S \bar{c}}{4 m}$.
$\rho$ = Density of air.
$S$ = Platform area of the wing.
$\bar{c}$ = Average chord length.
$m$ = Mass of the aircraft.
$\Omega = \frac{2 U}{\bar{c}}$.
$U$ = Equilibrium flight speed.
$C_T$ = Coefficient of thrust.
$C_D$ = Coefficient of drag.
$C_L$ = Coefficient of lift.
$C_W$ = Coefficient of weight.
$C_M$ = Coefficient of pitch moment.
$\gamma$ = Flight path angle.
$\sigma=\frac{1}{1+\mu C_L}$ = Constant.
$i_{yy}$ = Normalized moment of inertia.
$\eta=\mu \sigma C_M$ = Constant
But how do I get to these equations?
"Please refer to any aircraft-related textbooks for the explanation of how to derive these equations."
