He admitted the static stability factor does not take into account many variables, but " the road maneuver tests wouldn't be able to duplicate that, either ."
32.
ASEAN countries must thus make a clear distinction between " static stability " that will lead toward conservativeness, and " dynamic stability " that will lead toward progressiveness.
33.
Once again for positive static stability, this definition of center of pressure requires that the center of pressure be further from the nose than the center of gravity.
34.
Violations of the basic principle are exploited in some high performance " relaxed static stability " combat aircraft to enhance agility; artificial stability is supplied by active electronic means.
35.
These give rise to unsatisfactory equilibria, but more seriously, cause a loss of static stability when turning in one direction, and an increase in static stability in the opposite direction.
36.
The fundamental requirement for static stability is that the aft surface must have greater authority ( leverage ) in restoring a disturbance than the forward surface has in exacerbating it.
37.
These give rise to unsatisfactory equilibria, but more seriously, cause a loss of static stability when turning in one direction, and an increase in static stability in the opposite direction.
38.
An aircraft s static stability is an important, but not sufficient, measure of its handling characteristics, and whether it can be flown with ease and comfort by a human pilot.
39.
This use of " relaxed static stability " allowed aircraft to be made more manoeuvrable and to be given an artificial " feel " to aid pilots in their main task.
40.
At high speeds, a vehicle can become dynamically unstable, meaning that it can be tipped over by an obstacle smaller than its static stability limit, or by excessive acceleration or tight turning.
