Note 5 Sep 2020

The document discusses various axes and angles relevant to aircraft stability and control, including the pitching moment coefficient and its relation to elevator angle. It explains the importance of fixed body axes and generalized body axes in analyzing aircraft behavior, particularly in different flight conditions. Additionally, it addresses the significance of angles such as sideslip and angle of attack in determining the aircraft's response and stability.

Cmo e 0 means aircraft is stable

Aircraft fixed body axis fixed to the aircraft they move and rotate with the
aircraft non inertial not fixed we actually need a fixed frame of reference to apply
Newton's laws

Earth axis are used for localized flights as the rotation of the Earth doesnt
play a big role However in trans global or transatmospheric flights where therotation is
important it is preferred to use spherical coordinates
