Mathias Rust Mathias Rust Mathias Rust (born 1 June 1968) is a German aviator known for his illegal landing near Red Square in Moscow on 28 May 1987. An amateur pilot, the teenager flew from Helsinki, Finland, to Moscow, being tracked several times by Soviet air defence and interceptors. The Soviet fighters never received permission to shoot him down, and several times his aeroplane was mistaken for a friendly aircraft. He landed on Vasilevsky Descent next to Red Square near the Kremlin in the capital of the Soviet Union. Rust said he wanted to create an "imaginary bridge" to the East, and
S-plane for frequency response, but decay effects as well. For instance, a damped sine wave can be modeled correctly using Laplace transforms. A function in the s-plane can be translated back into a function of time using the inverse Laplace transform where the real number formula_13 is chosen so the integration path is within the region of convergence of formula_8. However rather than use this complicated integral, most functions of interest are translated using tables of Laplace transform pairs, and the Cauchy residue theorem. Analysing the complex roots of an "s"-plane equation and plotting them on an Argand diagram can reveal
