increase in angle of attack on the leading wing gives rise to an increase in lift which
in turn gives rise to a restoring rolling moment L. The corresponding aerodynamic
change on the wing trailing into the sideslip results in a small decrease in lift which
also produces a restoring rolling moment. The net effect therefore is to create a
negative rolling moment which causes the aircraft to recover its zero sideslip wings
level equilibrium. Thus, the condition for an aircraft to be laterally stable ...
