SUMMARY

Static Stablity and Dynamic Stability

Stability is the reaction of a body when forces that worked around it vanishes returning, stationary,
or moving away. Stability can be categorized as static or dynamic stability

Factors affecting

Directional Static Stability

Directional Stability is
considered as aircraft stability
when moving through its normal
(directional) axis. The key of
aircraft directional stability lies
in its vertical stabilizer
