The top view of a high-performance jet aircraft is shown in Figure AP7.1(a) [20]. Sketch the root locus and determine the gain K so that the ζ of the complex poles near the jω-axis is the maximum achievable. Evaluate the roots at this K and predict the response to a step input. Determine the actual response and compare it to the predicted response.
