22.26 Stability

22.26.2 Explain static stability and dynamic stability.

22.26.4 Differentiate between stability and controllability.

22.26.6 Define longitudinal stability and explain:

(a) the action of the tailplane in maintaining longitudinal stability;

(b) wing pitching moments;

(c) the effect of CG position.

22.26.8 Define directional stability and explain the factors affecting it.

22.26.10 Define lateral stability and explain the factors affecting it (dihedral, shielding, wing position, keel surface/fin area, sweepback).
