The Transformation of the Moments and
Products of Inertia from a Body Axes
Reference to a Wind Axes Reference
INTRODUCTION
In the same way that it is sometimes necessary to transform the aerodynamic stability
and control derivatives from a body axes reference to a wind axes reference, and vice
versa, it is also necessary to transform the corresponding moments and products of
inertia. Again, the procedure is very straightforward and makes use of the transfor-
mation relationships discussed in Chapter 2. It is assumed that the body axes and
wind axes in question have a common origin at the cg of the ...
