  1. Flight Controls and Stability Airplane Flight: X-Plane in the Classroom

  2. Stability • Control • Pitch - nose moves up and down

  3. Stability • Control • Pitch - nose moves up and down • Yaw – nose moves left and right

  4. Stability • Control • Pitch - nose moves up and down • Yaw – nose moves left and right • Roll – airplane rolls along the nose to tail axis

  5. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force.

  6. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability

  7. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability • Dihedral- wing angles

  8. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability • Dihedral- wing angles • Dihedral provides stability

  9. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability • Pitch Stability

  10. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability • Pitch Stability • Tail

  11. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability • Pitch Stability • Tail • Arrow analogy

  12. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque

  13. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque • Torque or moment • Application of force to rotate an object about a fulcrum.

  14. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque • Torque or moment • Application of force to rotate an object about a fulcrum. • Tail Moment Arm

  15. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque • Torque or moment • Application of force to rotate an object about a fulcrum. • Tail Moment Arm • Center of Gravity Moment Arm

  16. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque • Torque or moment • Application of force to rotate an object about a fulcrum. • Tail Moment Arm • Center of Gravity Moment Arm • Wing is the “fulcrum”

  17. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque
