Longitudinal aircraft dynamics
variables are (small) deviations from operating point or trim conditions
state (components):
u: velocity of aircraft along body axis
v: velocity of aircraft perpendicular to body axis
(down is positive)
: angle between body axis and horizontal
(up is positive)
q : angular velocity of aircraft (pitch rate)

Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
What job can i get with a Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering?
Aerospace Engineering degree provides a basic knowledge of engineering that will allow you to get a beginning position in any design field. This include aircraft structures, structural dynamics, fluid dynamics, mechanical controls and computer controls. One speciality is flight dynamics that can get a job of flight simulator design. I've known one graduate who was hired by an Insurance company because of knowledge of the various disciplines: i.e. electrical, chemical, mechanical, etc.
When was Software Dynamics created?
Software Dynamics was created in 1987.
Why are aircraft towed?
Airplanes are usually towed out of the gate of an airport. This is because an aircraft can reverse normally. They do have reverse thrust but essentially it is just reversing the flow of exhaust from the engines so it slows the aircraft from going forward. Furthermore, reverse thrust is almost exclusively used on landings to slow the aircraft down, other than that, the aircraft no way to move backwards. So to compensate, extremely powerful tugs or push back tractors are used to move the airplane out of the gate. Other times aircraft would be towed would be when they have trouble maneuvering in a small space. In this position, a vehicle meant for driving on the ground would be better suited than a plane.
Sound waves are transverse waves?
Nope, longitudinal.
What has the author Martin R Waszak written?
Martin R Waszak has written: 'Analysis of flexible aircraft longitudinal dynamics and handling qualities'
What does the longtitudinal axis do on an aircraft?
The longitudinal axis of an airplane is an imaginary line running lengthwise from nose to tail. Movement around the longitudinal axis is referred to as "roll" and is controlled by the ailerons. Movement about the longitudinal axis results in a banked attitude of the aircraft (where one wing is higher than the other) and, combined with rudder input causes the aircraft to turn.
What is Longitudinal Directional Stability?
Longitudinal directional stability refers to the ability of an aircraft to maintain its heading when disturbed by external forces, such as turbulence or control inputs. It is achieved through proper design of the aircraft's aerodynamic characteristics, including the location of the center of gravity relative to the center of lift. Strong longitudinal directional stability helps pilots maintain control of the aircraft in various flight conditions.

What is meant by an aircraft maintenance area?
A part of the airfield where aircraft are worked on.
What is meant by aircraft chartering?
That is when a group or a company will rent an entire aircraft for a specific journey.
What has the author James G Batterson written?
James G. Batterson has written: 'Estimation of longitudinal stability and control derivatives for an icing research aircraft from flight data' -- subject(s): Aircraft stability, Aircraft control, Ice formation
What is meant by payload for aircraft?
The payload is the cargo that it carries.
What is roll on a plane?
Roll is the movement of the aircraft around it's longitudinal axis, this is a line from the nose to the tail.
What is Dutch role in aviation?
Dutch roll is the tendency of an aircraft to roll and yaw about its longitudinal and vertical axis due to inherent instability in the design of the aircraft. Generally it is the result of a small vertical stabilizer design.
What is roll rate in reference to aircraft?
Roll, pitch, and yaw - flight dynamics. See the below link for more info.
What are the characteristics of the aircraft KFM 112M?
The characteristics of the aircraft KFM 112M is a four cylinder with dual ignition and is meant to be designed for an ultralight aircraft and motor glides.
