1 Linearized Lateral-Directional Equations of Motion Robert Stengel, Aircraft Flight Dynamics MAE 331, 16 Learning Objectives 6 th -order -> 4 th -order -> hybrid equations Dynamic stability derivatives Dutch roll mode Roll and spiral modes Reading: Flight Dynamics Copyright 16 by Robert Stengel. All rights reserved. For educational use only Review Questions Why can we normally reduce the 6 th -order longitudinal equations to 4 th -order without compromising accuracy? What are the longitudinal modes of motion? Why are the hybrid 4 th -order equations useful? What are dimensional stability and control derivatives? Under what circumstances can the 4 th -order set be replaced by two nd -order sets? What benefits accrue from the separation, and what are the limitations? What is normal load factor? Would you rather have one so-so flying car or a good airplane and a good car?

Where is the cockpit? How are the engines and vertical surfaces swiveled? What does asymmetry do to stability and control? 8
