What is the primary advantage of dividing stability and control analysis into longitudinal and lateral-directional analysis?
What is the primary advantage of dividing stability and control analysis into longitudinal and lateral-directional analysis?
- It simplifies the analysis by eliminating the need to consider moderate changes in angle of attack. (correct)
- It enables the analysis to focus on the pitching moment about the center of gravity.
- It reduces the importance of considering the wing's aerodynamic center.
- It allows for a more detailed analysis of the aircraft's yaw and roll.
