108 Flight Dynamics Principles
The transfer function given by equation (5.24) provides a complete description of
the longitudinal stability characteristics and the dynamic pitch response to elevator of
the F-104 at the flight condition in question. It is interesting to note that the transfer
function has a negative sign. This means that a positive elevator deflection results in
a negative pitch response that is completely in accordance with the notation defined
in Chapter 2. Clearly, the remaining longitudinal response transfer functions can
be obtained by applying Cramer’s rule to equation (5.21) for each of
