inertia pitching moment
1inertia coupling — A form of instability that manifests itself during maneuvers, especially in the pitching and yawing motions. It is particularly common during rolling at very rapid rates and high g rolling pullouts either at very low indicated air speeds or at… …
2moment — the resultant of a system of forces causing rotation without translation. A moment can be expressed as a couple moment of inertia aligning moment bending moment overturning moment pitching moment rolling moment rolling resistance moment tire… …
3Flight dynamics — is the science of air and space vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle s center of mass, known as pitch , roll and yaw… …
4Precession — For other uses, see Precession (disambiguation). Precession of a gyroscope Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotation axis of a rotating body. It can be defined as a change in direction of the rotation axis in which the second… …
5Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics — A computer generated, simplified model of bike and rider demonstrating an uncontrolled right turn. An …
6Insect wing — Original veins and wing posture of a dragonfly. Hoverflies hovering to mate …
7Metacentric height — Ship Stability diagram showing centre of gravity (G), centre of buoyancy (B), and metacentre (M) with ship upright and heeled over to one side. Note that for small angles, G and M are fixed, while B moves as the ship heels, and for big angles B… …
8B/A ratio — The ratio that determines the spinning characteristics of an aircraft. The mass of an aircraft can be distributed about its three axes (i.e., longitudinal, lateral, and vertical). The distribution of mass about the longitudinal axis determines… …
