The shape of the fuselage and fin improve longitudinal stability.
stabilon improves pitch and longitudinal stability for wide range of c.g thus improves a range of c.g. stabilons also provides positive recovery from deep stall. (by Pukar Pant, buddha air nepal)

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.
The longitudinal stability of an airplane is primarily determined by the location of the center of gravity (CG) in relation to the aerodynamic center of the wing. If the CG is in front of the aerodynamic center, the airplane tends to be stable. If the CG is too far behind the aerodynamic center, the airplane can become unstable. Pilots use the elevator control surface to adjust the pitch and maintain longitudinal stability.
The longitudinal arm of an R22 helicopter is the distance from the center of gravity to the main rotor shaft. It is an important parameter for calculating balance and stability of the helicopter during flight.
To impart a longitudinal spin to a projectile which gives gyroscopic stability to the projectile which greatly increases its accuracy.
The lateral longitudinal arch of the foot helps distribute body weight along the outer edge of the foot during walking and running. It provides stability and support to the foot by absorbing shock and adapting to uneven surfaces.
Longitudinal research is a type of study where data is collected from the same subjects over a period of time to track changes or trends. This method allows researchers to observe how certain variables evolve or influence each other over time. Longitudinal studies are useful for understanding development, stability, and change in individuals or groups.
