Appendix A
Symbols and definitions
This appendix defines the symbols used in this report, and all relevant reference
frames and sign conventions. The units of measurements usually conform to S.I.
conventions. Only in some incidental cases, usually involving equations obtained
from other literature, non-standard units have been applied. If this is the case, the
applied units will be mentioned specifically in the main text.
Due to the very large number of variables, it could not always be avoided to use
the same symbols for multiple purposes, but most of the times this is not a serious
problem, because the meaning of a particular symbol usually follows directly from
the context in which it is used. In the few cases where there is a real chance of
symbols getting mixed-up, these particular symbols may be overlined, to provide
the necessary distinction.
A list of variable names and acronyms used in the FDC toolbox has been included
in appendix E. Several important aircraft model parameters have been listed in appendix
B, while appendix C explains the format which was used to implement the
aircraft model parameters in SIMULINK.
