Lateral Static Stability

1) The document discusses lateral static stability, which refers to an aircraft's tendency to return to straight and level flight after experiencing a disturbance that causes it to roll. 2) Key factors that contribute to lateral static stability include the vertical tail, wing dihedral, and whether the wing is mounted high or low on the fuselage. 3) A vertically mounted tail helps provide restoring rolling moments due to its position above or below the aircraft's center of gravity. Wing dihedral and high wing configurations also help promote lateral stability.

Definition

▪ Rolling Moment
– It can be defined as moment about x-axis, longitudinal axis.
Rolling Motion’s Convention

𝑙′ ▪ A rolling moment which causes


▪ 𝑐𝑙 ′ = 1Τ 𝜌𝑣 2 𝑠 𝑏
roll to right or right wing down,
is taken as positive.

▪ This is ensured by stabilizers.
▪ But for Lateral Stability there
▪ Rolling moment is denoted as l′ are no special stabilizers.
to distinguish it from lift which
is denoted by l.
𝑐𝑙′ should be negative for positive bank roll.
That is for lateral statically stable ,𝑐 ′ is negative for positive β.

High Wing: Stable or Unstable?
High wings are wings
that are placed on
top of fuselage. That
gives 𝐶𝑙𝛽 < 0.
Low Wing: Unstable?

Low wings are wings that


are placed on bottom of
fuselage. That gives
