A System Identification Problem
Problem SysIdent1IP01

        Dr. Abner Mallity is doing some work for the AA.  That's not Alcoholics Anonymous.  It's the Ancient Airplane company.  He needs to design a control system for a new "antique" aircraft that they are developing, and he needs your help.  He needs all the help he can get.

        By clicking here, you can get a simulator that shows the response of one of their aircraft when the aileron has a unit step input.  Calculate the transfer function of the airplane and give it to Dr. Mallity.  He needs that transfer function if he is to design a control system for the aircraft.

        If you want a hard copy of the data, highlight the simulator window by clicking in it, and then hit "Alt + Print Screen".  That puts a copy of the picture on the clipboard, and you can paste that into any application that accepts pictorial data.
