Center of Gravity Center of Gravity (CG) is point where weight of object is balanced Centroid located on the line of symmetryCentroid of object with multiple lines of symmetry is located at intersection of lines of symmetrySlide33
StabilityAircraft with positive stability returns to steady flight after disturbanceManeuverability is an indication of an aircraft’s ability to handle the stress of maneuversControllability is an indication of an aircraft’s ability to react to pilot inputs Slide34
Aircraft AttitudeAircraft have three axes of flight which intersect at the center of gravityAircraft must be stable around these three axes for controlled flightAircraft must be controlled to rotate around these three axes to change directionLongitudinalAxis
