Abstract
The models seen in the previous chapters dealt with vehicles that maintain their symmetry plane more or less perpendicular to the ground; i.e. they move with a roll angle that is usually small. Moreover, the pitch angle was also assumed to be small, with the z axis remaining close to perpendicular to the ground. Since pitch and roll angles are small, stability in the small can be studied by linearizing the equations of motion in a position where \( \theta =\phi =0\).

Notes
- 1.
The term SLA suspension does not apply here, since the upper and lower arms have roughly the same length.
- 2.
Matrix \(\mathbf {A}\) here defined must not be confused with the dynamic matrix in the state space, which is also usually referred to as \(\mathbf {A}\).
- 3.
Obviously \( \sqrt{x_{k}^{2}+y_{k}^{2}+z_{k}^{2}}=1\).
- 4.
Again, matrix \(\mathbf {A}\) has nothing to do with the dynamic matrix of the system in the state space, usually referred to as \(\mathbf {A}\).
