The static stability of aircraft
Describe the factors which influence the static stability of aircraft and relate them to individual cases.
a. Define the lateral and longitudinal dihedral and their effects on the stability of the aircraft.
b. Define the static margin, what would be the effect of the static margin on the stability of the aircraft.
c. Define the load factor, and describe the n-v Envelope. Discuss the constraints which dictate the load factor on the aircraft and pilot.
