Stability and Control Methodology for Conceptual Aircraft Design. Volume 1. Methodology Manual.

Abstract

This report contains methodology for predicting stability and control characteristics of conceptual flight vehicles. The methodology presented is a combination of existing methodology, modified existing methodology, and newly developed methodology. The methodology is divided into three main sections: 1) Aerodynamics of Longitudinal stability coefficients, 2) Lateral Stability coefficients, and 3) Static and Dynamic Stability Analysis. Keywords: Aerodynamics, Trim drag.
