Badanie stateczności samolotu w ustalonym korkociągu

Wojciech Blajer

A method investigating stability of an airplane motion in steady spin is presented. An airplane has been treated as a rigid body having six degrees of freedom. The method corresponds to examining eigenvalues of Jakobian matrix of the system of motion equations, defined at the equilibrium point. Test calculations have been carried out for Polish training airplane TS-11 ,,Iskra''.
