A Symptom of Payload-Induced Flight Instability

Abstract

Observations of instability caused by a moving payload--liquid or solid--have shown that large angular motions are always accompanied by a large spin-down moment. A simple general relation is derived between the side moment and the spin moment caused by the steady-state motion of any movable payload.
