Comparing the damping and frequency terms in the expressions in equations (7.40)
with those of the mass–spring–damper in Appendix 6 it is easy to identify the roles
of those aerodynamic stability derivatives which are dominant in determining the
characteristics of the dutch roll mode. For example,
N
r
is referred to as the yaw
damping derivative and
N
v
is referred to as the yaw stiffness derivative, and both are ...
