Longitudinal Stability in Relation to the Use of an Automatic Pilot (open access)

Longitudinal Stability in Relation to the Use of an Automatic Pilot

"The effect of restraint in pitching introduced by an automatic pilot upon the longitudinal stability of an airplane has been studied. Customary simplifying assumptions have been made in setting down the equations of motion, and the results of computations based on the simplified equations are presented to show the effect of an automatic pilot installed in an airplane of known dimensions and characteristics. The equations developed have been applied by making calculations for a Clark biplane and a Fairchild 22 monoplane" (p. 1).
