Divers Forms and Derivations of the Equations of Motion of Deformable Aircraft and Their Mutual Relationship.
Abstract
The equations of motion of an aircraft, for small perturbations from flight with constant linear and zero angular velocities, are developed in detail using: constant-velocity or body-fixed axes; encastre or free-free modes; and displacement or velocity body freedom coordinates. The relationship is clearly stated between these various forms; and with other proposed forms, in particular those using mean-body axes. The whole development is kept consistent, as far as possible, with the Hopkin notation scheme. (Author)
