    The document contains 3 exercises related to aircraft flight dynamics: 1. Calculate the body-axis components of the gravity vector given information about a jet aircraft's thrust, drag polar, and lift function slope during steady climbing. 2. Analyze the stability of short-period and phugoid dynamic modes and calculate airspeed response using a provided longitudinal state matrix. Design a pitch autopilot with less than 15% steady state error. 3. Explain the relevance of the L0v stability derivative in aircraft lateral-directional dynamics.

    Exercise 1
    A jet aircraft is performing a steady trajectory at the best climbing gradient
    condition. Given the thrust-to-weight ratio, T /W = 0.45, the drag polar, CD =
    0.022 + 0.055 CL2 , and lift function slope, CL↵ = 5.051/rad, calculate the body-
    axis components of the gravity vector.
