3.5.3 Longitudinal and Lateral Models<br />

The 6 DOF equations <strong>of</strong> motion can in many cases be divided into two noninteracting<br />

(or lightly interacting) subsystems:<br />

Longitudinal subsystem: states u,w,q, and <br />

Lateral subsystem: states v,p,r, and <br />

This decomposition is good for slender bodies (large length/width ratio). Typical<br />

applications are aircraft, missiles, and submarines.<br />
