Dynamic stability

« Back to Glossary Index

Dynamic Stability of an aircraft refers to its ability to recover stability after being disturbed from its original straight-and-level flight. The aircraft’s design and engineering cause forces and moments to form, which counterbalance any destabilization and bring the aircraft back to its original flight trajectory. This property is crucial for safe and efficient flight, enabling the aircraft to withstand turbulence and other disturbances without losing control. Achieving and maintaining dynamic stability is a significant concern for aircraft manufacturers, pilots, and aviation authorities.
