Model Predictive Control in MATLAB and Python

This exercise involves the simulation of a Boeing 747 airplane at a cruising altitude of 40,000 ft. In this application1, a model of the process is desired to relate the elevator (e) and thrust (t) to the airspeed and climb rate. The model equations are shown below in state space form that relates elevator angle in centi-radians and thrust to four states including airspeed in the horizontal direction (u - u_w), airspeed in the vertical direction (w - w_w), rotation of the aircraft (q), and angle of the aircraft (theta).
