    Weight and Balance When the weight of the aircraft is at or below the allowable limit(s) for its configuration (parked, ground movement, take-off, landing, etc.) and its center of gravity is within the allowable range, and both will remain so for the duration of the flight, the aircraft is said to be within weight and balance. Different maximum ...

  3. Aircraft gross weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_gross_weight

    The structural weight limits are based on aircraft maximum structural capability and define the envelope for the CG charts (both maximum weight and CG limits). An aircraft's structural weight capability is typically a function of when the aircraft was manufactured, and in some cases, old aircraft can have their structural weight capability ...

  4. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    The three axes of rotation in an aircraft. Flight dynamics is the science of air vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle's center of gravity (cg), known as pitch, roll and yaw.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(aeronautics)

    In aeronautics, the load factor is the ratio of the lift of an aircraft to its weight [1] [2]: § 5.22 and represents a global measure of the stress ("load") to which the structure of the aircraft is subjected: =, where is the load factor, is the lift is the weight.

    Swiss will have to fit a massive “balancing plate” at the back of the plane to recenter the balance of the aircraft. The new seats, called “Swiss Senses,” were announced in 2023 for a ...

  8. Limits of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_stability

    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 ]
