PhugoidApp

The Phugoid Motion Sim is a MATLAB-based application designed to model and visualize the oscillatory behavior of an aircraft in response

Phugoid motion refers to the slow oscillatory motion that occurs when an aircraft is disturbed from its equilibrium pitch position. It involves alternating periods of climb and descent, with corresponding variations in airspeed. While this motion typically does not pose a significant threat to aircraft stability, understanding and analyzing it is essential for ensuring overall flight safety and performance.
