steady state acceleration is zero.
5.6 THE STATE SPACE METHOD
The use of the state space method greatly facilitates the solution of the small perturba-
tion equations of motion of aircraft. Since the computational mechanism is based on
the use of matrix algebra it is most conveniently handled by a digital computer and, as
