Rolling Wings

When the aircraft is rolling, and additional term may be added that will add the wing station distance multiplied by the rate of roll to give additional angle of attack change. Equation 3 will then become

where

  • is the rate of roll in rad/sec,

Note that y can be negative. This addition will introduce non-zero even coefficients in the equation which will have to accounted for.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or wings:

    But dread
    was in her, a bloodbeat, it was against the rolling dark
    oncoming river she raised bulwarks....

    Or if you insist, as you have a right,
    On spreading your wings for a loftier flight,
    The moral is—Take care how you light.
