Effect of Product of Inertia on Lateral Stability
Description:
Note presenting a theoretical investigation made to determine the effect of the product-of-inertia terms in the lateral equations of motion on the lateral-stability boundaries. The product of inertia results from the inclination of the principal longitudinal axis of the airplane to the flight path. The results indicated that the product-of-inertia terms should be included in the lateral equations of motion to determine the lateral stability of an airplane.
