  2. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    Roll rates and yaw rates are expected to be small, so the contributions of and will be ignored. The sideslip and roll rate vary gradually, so their time derivatives are ignored. The yaw and roll equations reduce to: + + = (yaw)

  3. Center of gravity of an aircraft - Wikipedia

    A sample CG-moment envelope chart, showing that a loaded plane weighing 2,367 lb (1,074 kg) with a moment of 105,200 lb⋅in (11886 N⋅m) is within the "normal category" envelope. Center of gravity (CG) is calculated as follows: Determine weights and arms for all mass within the aircraft. Multiply weights by arms for all mass to calculate moments.

  4. Roll moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll_moment

    In aeronautics, the roll moment is the product of an aerodynamic force and the distance between where it is applied and the aircraft's center of mass that tends to cause the aircraft to rotate about its roll axis. The roll axis is usually defined as the longitudinal axis, which runs from the nose to the tail of the aircraft.

  5. Davenport chained rotations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davenport_chained_rotations

    The combination depends on how the axis are taken and what the initial position of the plane is. Using the one in the drawing, and combining rotations in such a way that an axis is repeated, only roll–pitch–roll will allow controlling the longitude and the inclination with one rotation each. The three matrices to multiply are:

  7. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    Moments of inertia may be expressed in units of kilogram metre squared (kg·m 2) in SI units and pound-foot-second squared (lbf·ft·s 2) in imperial or US units. The moment of inertia plays the role in rotational kinetics that mass (inertia) plays in linear kinetics—both characterize the resistance of a body to changes in its motion. The ...

  8. gc (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gc_(engineering)

    In engineering and physics, g c is a unit conversion factor used to convert mass to force or vice versa. [1] It is defined as = In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1.

  9. List of conversion factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conversion_factors

    Conversions between units in the metric system are defined by their prefixes (for example, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 milligram = 0.001 grams) and are thus not listed in this article. Exceptions are made if the unit is commonly known by another name (for example, 1 micron = 10 −6 metre).
