F-22 Initial Short-Period Mode Specifications

The original F-22 short-period mode specifications were a control anticipation parameter of 1.0, and a damping ratio of 0.8. CAP values were around 0.35 rad/s^2/g at high airspeed. This was raised to 1.0 for low airspeeds. The final damping ratios were around 1.1-1.2.
