center-of-gravity margin

  • 1center-of-gravity margin — The distance through which the center of gravity can be moved aft from the quoted datum to reach the point of neutral longitudinal (pitch) stability. The center of gravity margin is an indication of the degree of longitudinal stability. The… …
