- Longitudinal static stability — the stability of an aircraft in the longitudinal, or pitching, plane during static (established) conditions.
In meteorology:
- Static stability (also called hydrostatic stability or vertical stability) — the ability of a fluid at rest to become turbulent or laminar due to the effects of buoyancy.
In sailing:
- Static stability — the angle of roll, or heel, achieved under constant wind conditions.
Famous quotes containing the word stability:
“The world can be at peace only if the world is stable, and there can be no stability where the will is in rebellion, where there is not tranquility of spirit and a sense of justice, of freedom, and of right.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
