OPERATING POINTS, PARTICLE DYNAMICS, AND COORDINATE SYSTEMS FOR AEROSPACE VEHICLE STABILITY AND CONTROL

Abstract

Conventional aeronautical stability and control usage is extende into the aerospace flight regime with particular reference to the definition of operating points and coordinate systems. Implied and studied in this extension are the basic particle-dynamic equations of motion, the magnitudes of possible external forces, and the flight regimes of fundamental interest. Simplified solutions of the particle-dynamic equations of motion are obtained, and certain lowfrequency modes common to both particle and rigid-body motion are explored.
