Static and dynamic stability
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
For most aircraft, longitudinal dynamic stability is assured if the static margin is positive. However, a statically stable aircraft is not necessarily dynamically stable. The problem of establishing under what conditions static stability is sufficient has recently been considered in Ref. I, by means of two-parameter stability diagrams. It seems to the present writer that a simpler approximate solution can be found by considering the factors of the characteristic equation.
