The Transformation of Aerodynamic Stability
Derivatives from a Body Axes Reference to a
Wind Axes Reference
INTRODUCTION
Aerodynamic stability derivatives are usually quoted with respect to a system of body
axes or with respect to a system of wind axes. When the derivatives are quoted with
respect to one system of axes and it is desired to work with the equations of motion
referred to a different system of axes, then the derivatives must be transformed to the
system of axes of interest. Fortunately, the transformation of aerodynamic derivatives
from one axis system to another is a relatively straightforw ...
