The problem of controlling static unstable airframes of tactical missiles through the proper choice both of gains and of the autopilot configuration is covered. Unlike other excellent treatments of the subject, the analytical description of the problem is simplified to the extreme in order to shorten the gap between the aerodynamicist and the control system designer. Classical feedback paths are described highlighting the key features of each of them and a method of direct synthesis is presented valid for both stable and unstable airframes. The maximum allowable instability of the airframe is derived.
