🫡🫡🫡Static vs. Dynamic Stability: Keeping Aircraft Under Control Did You Know? Aircraft stability isn’t just about staying level—static stability determines initial reactions to disturbances, while dynamic stability dictates whether oscillations grow, fade, or stay constant over time! Key Differences Explained 1) Static Stability – The First Reaction - Definition: How an aircraft initially responds to a disturbance (like turbulence). - Types: - Positive → Returns toward equilibrium (stable). -

Manufacturers spend tons of money and hours making sure that the inherent stability of their airplanes matches the purposes they're designed for. This overall stability is determined by the quality of an aircraft to correct for conditions that may disturb its equilibrium and return to, or deviate from, its original flight path. There are 2 types of stability: Static and Dynamic. The difference in the two is based around timing. We’ll focus on static stability in this video. Static stability refe
