    Ae 2301 - Flight Dynamics

    Uploaded by

    Raja Selvaraj
    This document discusses forces and moments acting on airplanes during cruising flight, as well as equations of motion. It describes four main forces - lift, drag, thrust, and weight. It defines rolling, pitching, and yawing moments. The document presents equations applying Newton's second law to an airplane's flight path to calculate acceleration parallel and perpendicular to the path. It also provides an equation for acceleration perpendicular to the flight path in the horizontal plane. Finally, it briefly mentions types of drag.

    Forces and Moments Acting on


    Airplane
    Forces Acting on Airplane:
    Model airplane as rigid body with four natural forces acting on it
    1. Lift, L
    Acts perpendicular to flight path (always perpendicular to relative
    wind)
    2. Drag, D
    Acts parallel to flight path direction (parallel to incoming relative
    wind)
    3. Propulsive Thrust, T
    For most airplanes propulsive thrust acts in flight path direction
    May be inclined with respect to flight path angle, aT, usually small
    angle
    4. Weight, W
    Always acts vertically toward center of earth
    Inclined at angle, q, with respect to lift direction

    Forces and Moments Acting on Airplane


    Moments Acting on Airplane:
    Roll moment is the aerodynamic force applied at a distance from
    an aircraft's center of mass that causes the aircraft to
    undergo angular acceleration about its roll axis.

    Pitching moment on an aircraft is the moment produced by


    the aerodynamic force on the airfoil if that aerodynamic force is
    considered to be applied, not at the center of pressure, but at
    the aerodynamic center of the airfoil.
    The pitching moment on the wing of an airplane is part of the total
    moment that must be balanced using the lift on the horizontal
    stabilizer.

    Yaw moment is the moment about the vertical axis and is positive
    if it moves the nose of the plane to the right.

    Equation of Motion
    Movement of an airplane through the air or atmosphere insofar as it is
    responding to the four forces of flight.
    Airplane movement is governed by a set of eqn that eqn called as equation
    of motion.
