Aerodynamic Stability and Control Derivatives
13.1 INTRODUCTION
As is usual in aerodynamic analysis, for the purpose of obtaining simple expressions
for the stability and control derivatives a wind axis reference system is assumed
throughout. The choice of wind axes is convenient since it reduces the derivatives to
their simplest possible description by retaining only the essential contributions and
hence, maximises the visibility of the physical phenomena involved. It is therefore
very important to remember that if the derivatives thus obtained are required for use
in equations of motion referred
