In this video we show how to find a trim point of a dynamic system using numerical optimization techniques. We generate a cost function that corresponds to a straight and level flight condition and then use Matlab’s ‘fminsearch’ to solve the unconstrained optimization problem to find states and controls that yield steady state straight and level flight.
