Transcribed Image Text:Inspired by the mars helicopter Ingenuity, we are going to study the effect of gravity on the control of a
helicopter. How does flying on mars compare to earth?
Our system model is v(t)
input), c is a positive thrust coefficient, and g is gravity. Assume initial conditions are zero.

With only a proportional controller, will this system have zero steady state error for a constant
reference velocity ū(t) = ũ and constant error w(t) = -g? Will the transient response have oscillations?
3.6
Will flying on mars (i.e. a lower gravity planet, where |gmars| < [gearth|) affect the magnitude
of the steady-state error? Why or why not?
