Sideslip Rate Feedback Control for Improved Turn Coordination - Lateral Flight Control - Section 1.3

In this lesson we investigate the reportedly highly effective beta/beta-dot controller to improve automatic turn coordination.

In this detailed lesson, we'll explore:
• Why rapid turn coordination is crucial
• The intricacies of the control architecture
• Its representation in state-space form
• A method for sideslip rate estimation
• Practical tuning techniques
• Performance evaluation through simulation
