(4.37)
Equations (4.37) are the small perturbation equations of motion, referred to body
axes, which describe the transient response of an aeroplane about the trimmed flight
condition following a small input disturbance. The equations comprise a set of six
simultaneous linear differential equations written in the traditional manner with the
forcing, or input, terms on the right hand side. As written, and subject to the assump-
