Problem 4: DPS.1 The roll control autopilot of a jet fighter is shown in the Figure. The goal is to select a suitable K so that the response to a unit step command (t) = A, t >= 0, will provide a response (t) that is a fast response and has an overshoot of less than 20%.
(a) Determine the closed-loop transfer function S/(S).
(b) Determine the roots of the characteristic equation for K=0.7, 3, and 6.
(c) Using the concept of dominant roots, find the expected overshoot and peak time for the approximate second-order system.
(d) Plot the actual response and compare with the approximate results of part (c).
(e) Select the gain K so that the percentage overshoot is equal to 16%. What is the resulting peak time?
