By Bernard Etkin, Lloyd Duff Reid

Designed to arrange scholars to turn into aeronautical engineers who can face new and hard events. keeping an analogous philosophy because the previous variations, this replace emphasizes uncomplicated rules rooted within the physics of flight, crucial analytical ideas in addition to general balance and keep watch over realities. in line with present perform, flight equations are offered in dimensional state-vector shape. The bankruptcy on closed-loop keep an eye on has been enormously increased with info on computerized flight keep watch over structures. makes use of a true jet shipping (the Boeing 747) for lots of numerical and worked-out examples.

V' is the average or effective relative wind at the tail. The tail lift and drag forces are, respectively, perpendicular and parallel to V'. 11 Forces acting on the tail. 2 Synthesis of Lift and Pitching Moment 27 the tail angle it, which must be positive as shown for equilibrium. This is sometimes referred to as longitudinal dihedral. The contribution of the tail to the airplane lift, which by definition is perpendicular to V, is L, cos E - D, sin E E is always a small angle, and we assume that D,E may be neglected compared with L,.

14 Effect of CG location on C,,, curve. 25 Total lift and moment acting on vehicle. C,,, at the NP. 15 is a very important result that the student should fix in his mind. 4 Longitudinal Control In this section we discuss the longitudinal control of the vehicle from a static point of view. That is, we concern ourselves with how the equilibrium state of steady rectilinear flight is governed by the available controls. Basically there are two kinds of changes that can be made by the pilot or automatic control system-a change of propulsive thrust, or a change of configuration.

6. Of the terms contained in B, none can be said in general to be negligible. All of them are "built-in" constants except for 8,. 7. The effect of the trim tab is to change the coefficient of ipV2, and hence the curvature of the parabola in Fig. 27. Thus it controls the intercept of the curve with the V axis. This intercept is denoted V,,; it is the speed for zero control force. 9 Control Force Gradient It was pointed out in Sec. 7 how the trim tabs can be used to reduce the control force to zero.
