AE 4723 — Supplementary Notes for Homework # 3
The Learjet 24 data provided in the homework are from a source different from the textbook, which is why some
of the notation is slightly different. Also, some of the stability aerodynamic data are not packaged in the form of the
stability derivatives that are needed to populate the A and B matrices. The following is a “translation” key to find the
nondimensional stability and control derivatives.

The linearized equations can be written, after separating longitudinal and lateral variables, as:
ẋlong = Along xlong + Blong ulong , (1)
ẋlat = Alat xlat + Blat ulat . (2)
Here,
∆u v
w p ∆δe δr
xlong q ,
= xlat r ,
= ulong = , ulat = . (3)
∆δp δa
∆θ φ
The A matrices in each case were previously discussed in class and described in detail in previous handouts/slides.
The B matrices are as follows:
Xδe Xδp
m m
Zδe Zδp
(m − Zẇ ) (m − Zẇ )
Blong = , (4)

where Ix0 = (Ix Iz − Izx

)/Iz , Iz0 = (Ix Iz − Izx
2 0
)/Ix , and Izx 2
= Izx /(Ix Iz − Izx ).
The transformations from nondimensional control derivatives (e.g. Cxδe ) to the dimensional control derivatives
(e.g. Xδe ) which appear in the B matrices above, are given in the tables below.
