Movement of CG

Longitudinal static stability depends strongly on the location of cg


Stick-Fixed Neutral Point
• Let 𝑵𝒑 denote the cg location when

𝒅𝑪𝒎

𝒅𝑪𝑳

or where the airplane becomes neutrally stable


• 𝑵𝒑 is called the stick-fixed neutral point
• Stick-fixed implies that elevator was held fixed
during angle of attack disturbance

Example (Nelson 2.1)
If the slope of the 𝑪𝒎 versus 𝑪𝑳 curve is -0.15 and the pitching moment at zero lift is
equal to 0.08, determine the trim lift coefficient. If the center of gravity of the
airplane is located at 𝑋𝑐𝑔 𝑐 = 0.3, determine the stick fixed neutral point.

For the data shown in Figure, determine the following:
(a) The stick-fixed neutral point.
(b) If we wish to fly the airplane at a velocity of 125 ft/sec at sea level, what would
be the trim lift coefficient and what would be the elevator angle for trim?
