Abstract
We study how the missile autopilot with three loop acceleration structure is related to the aerodynamic characteristics. First, the relationships between the response characteristics of wingless-tail controlled missile and aerodynamics are derived. Next the maximum allowable performance limit of autopilot and the design direction for a missile shape are indicated using the property of zero. The method proposed in this paper may give a help to the missile autopilot system design and determination of the shape of aerodynamic. Also, the validity of proposed method is demonstrated via numerical example.
