AN ANALYSIS OF METHODS FOR PREDICTING THE STABILITY CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ELASTIC AIRPLANE APPENDIX C METHODS FOR PREDICTING STABILITY AND RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

"An Analysis of Methods for Predicting the Stability Characteristics of an Elastic Airplane. " The report consists of four volumes — a summary report and three appendixes.nThis volume presents and evaluates methods for calculating the stability and response characteristics of an elastic airplane and Identifies those terms in the equations of motion which significantly affect these characteristics. The airplane equations of motion fall into two. general categories:n(1) Small perturbation formulation (linear differential equations);n(2) Large perturbation formulation (nonlinear differential equations).
