Now the equations (4.20) describe the generalised motion of the aeroplane without
regard for the magnitude of the motion and subject to the assumptions applying.
The equations are non-linear and their solution by analytical means is not generally
practicable. Further, the terms on the right hand side of the equations must be replaced
with suitable expressions which are particularly difficult to determine for the most
general motion. Typically, the continued ...
