Understanding Flight Controls: Stability and Control of Airplanes in the Classroom

This resource explores the fundamentals of airplane flight controls and stability, emphasizing how various forces affect an aircraft's pitch, yaw, and roll. Key concepts such as the dihedral angle, torque, and the tail moment arm are explained through engaging analogies, making it suitable for classroom learning. Students will gain insights into how stability allows an airplane to return to its original position after being disturbed by external forces, as well as the properties that influence overall control and safety in aviation.

  1. Flight Controls and Stability Airplane Flight: X-Plane in the Classroom

  2. Stability • Control • Pitch - nose moves up and down

  3. Stability • Control • Pitch - nose moves up and down • Yaw – nose moves left and right

  4. Stability • Control • Pitch - nose moves up and down • Yaw – nose moves left and right • Roll – airplane rolls along the nose to tail axis

  5. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force.

  6. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability

  7. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability • Dihedral- wing angles

  8. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability • Dihedral- wing angles • Dihedral provides stability

  9. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability • Pitch Stability

  10. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability • Pitch Stability • Tail

  11. Stability • Control • Stability • The property of an airplane to return to its original position when disturbed by an outside force. • Roll and Yaw Stability • Pitch Stability • Tail • Arrow analogy

  12. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque

  13. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque • Torque or moment • Application of force to rotate an object about a fulcrum.

  14. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque • Torque or moment • Application of force to rotate an object about a fulcrum. • Tail Moment Arm

  15. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque • Torque or moment • Application of force to rotate an object about a fulcrum. • Tail Moment Arm • Center of Gravity Moment Arm

  16. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque • Torque or moment • Application of force to rotate an object about a fulcrum. • Tail Moment Arm • Center of Gravity Moment Arm • Wing is the “fulcrum”

  17. Stability • Control • Stability • Airplanes, teeter-totters, and torque
