small and may result in some non-linearity of the pitching moment characteristic
with change in trim. In general the variation in the degree of stability is acceptably
small. For the modern supersonic high performance aircraft the situation is not so
well defined. Large flight envelopes and significant variation in flight condition can
lead to dramatic changes in static stability. For example, it is possible for such an
aircraft to be stable at some ...
