    C.G. displacement influence

    Thank you for your reply. Well, I have the stability and control derivatives for my aircraft, all calculated with respect to the c.g. assumed at the origin of the body axes (nominal c.g.). Now I found out that the final c.g. is displaced in the Ox and Oz directions by some distances. I believe...

    C.G. displacement influence

    Hello, I am trying to develop a MatLab program that mathematically models an aircraft in trim flight. Everything fine so far, except that the reference system used does not coincide with the centre of gravity. I denoted the distances from the origin of the reference system to the centre of...
