Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A flight vehicle attitude control system design device includes: a gain calculator calculating a proportional gain and a derivative gain from a system natural frequency and a system damping coefficient; a margin calculator calculating a gain margin and a phase margin from the proportional gain and the derivative gain; a grid generator generating a gain-phase margin grid from a relationship between the proportional gain and the derivative gain and a relationship between the gain margin and the phase margin; and a display unit outputting the gain-phase margin grid on a control gain design region having a gain margin as one of a horizontal coordinate axis and a vertical coordinate axis and a phase margin as the other one of the horizontal coordinate axis and the vertical coordinate axis.
