Neutral stability and relaxed stability analysis: advantages and disadvantages. A neutrally stable airplane has the following characteristics: 1) there is only one elevator trim displacement that gives a steady flight speed. If we slightly increase the up trim, the aircraft will progressively pitch up until it stalls. Adding a little amount of down trim, the aircraft will move into an ever-steepening dive. 2) If this particular trimming setting is held, the aircraft is able to be still in trim
vertical tail, and carries primary two functions: Trim (longitudinal and directional) Stability (longitudinal and directional) Control (longitudinal and directional) Trim is referred to the generation of a lift force which acts through the tail moment arm about the center of gravity, balancing some other moment produced by the aircraft. For the horizontal tail, trim primarily means the balancing of the moment generated by the wing. Hence, longitudinal trim is the first and primary function of a horizontal
into two categories: static and dynamic. Static alignment refers to the dancer when stationary; dynamic alignment is the continuous correction of relative alignment when the dancer is in motion. The static alignment should be almost effortlessly poised. If one grips their muscles to force their turnout, it cannot be maintained when they work into dynamic alignment, as they rely on the friction against the floor to maintain their alignment. However, a dancer with perfect static alignment may find it
with references to its longitudinal and lateral stability. INTRODUCTION 2. In this report I will analyze two aircraft. The McDonnell Douglas F-15, an agile supersonic multi-role fighter aircraft and the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy a giant American freighter. Analysis has shown many similarities between the two aircraft despite their different roles; however, I have concentrated on their individual areas of interest, ... ... middle of paper ... ... in-flight roll stability but not so much as to
According to Brian Dunbar, NASA Administrator, "Aerodynamics is the way air moves around things." Furthermore, it is a branch of fluid dynamics that is concerned with the study of forces and gas flow and based on the concept of Newtonian Mechanics. Whatsoever moves through air reacts to aerodynamics. A rocket launching and a kite in the sky both react to aerodynamics. According to Avaiationbox, "The solution of an aerodynamic problem normally involves calculating for various properties of the flow
A BWB aircraft is a configuration where the wing and fuselage are integrated which essentially results in a large flying wing. BWB aircraft were previously called ‘tailless airplanes’ and ‘Flying-Wing aircraft’. It is an unconventional aircraft design that has continued to attract a great deal of interest due to the promise of great aerodynamic advantages. The conventional wing fuselage configuration has been proven design for many years but, from aerodynamic point of view, is lacking efficiency
Title Student’s Name Institution’s Name WHY DID TACOMA NARROW BRIDGE COLLAPSE INTRODUCTION The Tacoma Narrow Bridge is pair of twin suspension bridges that span the Tacoma strait of Puget Sound in pierce county Washington. () The bridge connects the city of Tacoma with the Kitsap Peninsula and carries state Route 16. But the paper focus on the Tacoma Narrow Bridge of the 1940 and some of the reasons that led to its collapse. The 1940 Tacoma Narrow Bridge become operational as from 1 July
Snowboard Composition The typical snowboard is designed to face the toughest conditions in any climate, even though it's use is mainly during the winter. In general, a snowboard is composed of several layers to attain a durable, yet light structure. Making the surfaces of a snowboard with a minimal friction coefficient is essential in the snowboard manufacturing industry. Like its various, eye-catching graphic designs, each and every snowboard has a unique layer structure. The two most

Literature Review The theory of financial liberalization is greatly explained by the works of MacKinnon (1973) and Shaw (1973). Financial liberalization refers to the removal of government ceilings on interest rates and of other controls on financial intermediaries. It is concerned with macroeconomic aggregates (interest rates, savings and investment) and conditions in formal financial markets (Baden, 1996). It refers to the removal of all constraints in the financial sector. In contrast, financial
Abstract─Distantly controlled and managed (by botmaster or botherder) malicious software (called botnets or ‘bot armies’) hidden in large number of computers may cause extraordinary likely damage to the Internet. Botnets can initiate massive coordinated attacks upon Internet resources and its infrastructure devices. The most likely potential uses of botnets are distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, spamming, sniffing traffic, keylogging, installing advertisement addons and google adsense
