Abstract:

This report contains methodology for predicting stability and control characteristics of conceptual flight vehicles. The methodology presented is a combination of existing methodology, modified existing methodology, and newly developed methodology. The methodology is divided into three main sections 1 Aerodynamics of Longitudinal stability coefficients, 2 Lateral Stability coefficients, and 3 Static and Dynamic Stability Analysis. Keywords Aerodynamics, Trim drag.
