This video shows how to use a 2D layout, Geometric relationships and Excel to calculate the Center of Gravity CG and the Mean Aerodynamic Chord M.A.C. for a flying wing / Delta wing aircraft. Share this: Email More Loading... Lewis Ascender – Aircraft of the Month ...
Finding whether or not your airplane is in balance is all about finding the loaded airplane Center of Gravity or CG. Once you have this, you can compare it to the charts or tables the manufacturer gives you to ensure that it is within acceptable limits. The CG cannot be too far forward ...
Once aloft, gravity (the weight of the hang glider and pilot) pulls the glider back toward Earth and propels the glider forward, continually causing air to flow over the wing. In addition to the horizontal movement of air, hang gliders can get lift from rising currents of air, such as ...
In other words, the pilot alters the plane's orientation around its own center of gravity, producing torque. Imagine this center of gravity as a fixed point in the middle of the fuselage. Next, imagine an invisible horizontal line that travels straight through the plane's nose, center of ...
A skydiver exiting an aircraft will instantly experience the pull of gravity -- the force of weight. If he or she is wearing a wingsuit, then the suit's airfoil will provide lift. However, the airfoil isn't large enough to accumulate enough lift to push the flyer's weight upward through...

Instead of the long shaft that's used in a multi-cylinder car engine, there is a single hub -- all of the piston's connecting rods connect to this hub. One rod is fixed, and it is generally known as the master rod. The others are called articulating rods. They mount on pins that...
The Geodetic to Geocentric Latitude has a new parameter, Output radius, which enables the output of the radius from the center of the planet to the center of gravity, through the new r port. Geoid Height block change Starting in R2020b, input a geodetic latitude for the Geoid Height μ ...
As wind moves over the car in the tunnel, computers are used to calculate the drag coefficient (Cd). Wind tunnels are really nothing new. They've been around since the late 1800s to measure airflow over many early aircraft attempts. Even the Wright Brothers had one. After World War II,...
Many of the IMU devices also provide onboard sensor fusion, which uses raw acceleration and angular velocity data to calculate orientation, either as quaternions or Euler angles, in almost real-time. Depending on the use case, this feature is not always necessary. For algorithm development, the...
