What is the difference between static and dynamic stability in LOG stabilizers?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to differentiate between static and dynamic stability in the context of LOG (Linear Quadratic Gaussian) stabilizers, which are used in control systems. This involves understanding how each type of stability is defined and how it relates to the behavior of a system employing a LOG stabilizer.
Answer
Static stability is the initial tendency of an aircraft to return to its original position, while dynamic stability is how the aircraft behaves over time after a disturbance.
Static stability refers to an aircraft's initial tendency to return to its original position after being disturbed. Dynamic stability describes how an aircraft behaves over time after that disturbance.
Answer for screen readers
Static stability refers to an aircraft's initial tendency to return to its original position after being disturbed. Dynamic stability describes how an aircraft behaves over time after that disturbance.
More Information
Static stability is the initial reaction, while dynamic stability is the aircraft's behavior over time.
Tips
It is a common misconception that static stability guarantees dynamic stability. An aircraft can be statically stable but dynamically unstable, meaning it initially returns towards its original position but then oscillates with increasing amplitude.
