Exercise 3. Stability

Figure 1: The VTOL. aircraft

The following is a planar model of a Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft such as Lock-heeds F35 Joint Strike fighter around hover (cf. Figure 1):

where x, y are the position of the center of mass of the aircraft in the vertical plane and is the roll angle of the aircraft. u1 and u2 are the thrust forces (control inputs). The thrust is generated by a powerful fan and is vectored into two forces u1 and u2. J is the moment of inertia, and is a small coupling constant.

Figure 2: A simple heat exchanger

Consider a simplified model for a heat exchanger shown in Figure 2, in which f_C and f_H are the flows (assumed constant) of cold water and hot water, T_H and T_C represent the temperatures in the hot and cold compartments, respectively, T_Hi and T_Ci denote the temperature of the hot and cold inflow, respectively, and V_H and V_C are the volumes of hot and cold water. The temperatures in both compartments evolve according to:
