19AST302-Flight Dynamics-Unit-4-STATIC LATERAL AND DIRECTIONAL STABILITY
Across
- 7. The tendency of an aircraft to align its nose into the relative wind, contributing to directional stability.
- 9. The upward angle of the wings, providing lateral stability by generating differential lift during roll.
- 11. The angle between the aircraft's longitudinal axis and the relative wind during a sideslip, affecting both lateral and directional stability.
- 12. The stability of an aircraft around its longitudinal axis, affecting roll control.
- 13. The primary control surface for maintaining and adjusting directional stability.
- 14. The stabilizing effect caused by the side area of the fuselage and vertical tail.
Down
- 1. The reduction of yaw oscillations, contributing to directional stability.
- 2. The interaction between lateral and directional stability, where a yaw motion induces roll.
- 3. The backward angle of the wings, enhancing both lateral and directional stability.
- 4. The vertical fin on the tail that provides directional stability.
- 5. A combined lateral and yaw oscillation that occurs when lateral and directional stability are out of balance.
- 6. The stability of an aircraft around its vertical axis, affecting yaw control.
- 8. The downward angle of an aircraft's wings, which can reduce lateral stability.
- 10. The upward angle of an aircraft's wings relative to the horizontal plane, contributing to lateral stability.
- 11. A condition where an aircraft progressively rolls and yaws into a descending spiral due to insufficient lateral stability.
