In fixed-wing aircraft, lateral balance is often much less critical than fore-aft balance, simply because most mass in the aircraft is located very close to its center. An exception is fuel, which may be loaded into the wings, but since fuel loads are usually symmetrical about the axis of the aircraft, lateral balance is not usually affected.

A woman demonstrating the ability to balance A waiter balancing wine glasses. Balance in biomechanics, is an ability to maintain the line of gravity (vertical line from centre of mass) of a body within the base of support with minimal postural sway. [1] Sway is the horizontal movement of the centre of gravity even when a person is standing still.
In simpler terms, LoS represents the maximum distance an individual can intentionally sway in any direction without losing balance or needing to take a step. [2] The typical range of stable swaying is approximately 12.5° in the front-back (antero-posterior) direction and 16° in the side-to-side (medio-lateral) direction. [ 3 ]
As a side effect, it also has a second normal mode and will vibrate somewhat more than the baseline system at frequencies below about 6 and above about 10. The heights of the two peaks can be adjusted by changing the stiffness of the spring in the tuned mass damper. Changing the damping also changes the height of the peaks, in a complex fashion.
The metacentric height (GM) is a measurement of the initial static stability of a floating body. [1] It is calculated as the distance between the centre of gravity of a ship and its metacentre . A larger metacentric height implies greater initial stability against overturning.
This resulted in the empty weight increasing by 25 lbs. [9] The gross weight was increased to 600 lbs to account for the loss of useful load. [6] Starting in 1965 the "B" was available with a swept tail to replace the rounded tail. [9] 1-26C The "C" is a kit-built "B" model. [9] Like its factory built counterpart it also had a gross weight of ...
