Stability of the Horizontal Flight of an Aircraft

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

The stability of the horizontal flight of a light aircraft is studied using the singular-perturbation method. A numerical parameter is introduced into the equation of motion to correct for possible errors of modeling. A set of parameter values at which stability remains is obtained
