Static Stability and Control in accelerated flight UNIT-III
The pull-up flight can be considered as a part of a loop.
Hence, δe in a pull up is given by:

The derivative of (δe)pull-up with ‘n’ is called elevator angle per g
and from Eq.(3.9) it is given by:

Static Stability and Control in accelerated flight UNIT-III
In level flight, (dδe/dCL) is zero when (dCm/dCL) stick fix is
zero. From Eq.(3.10) it is seen that (dδe/dn) is not zero when
(dCm/dCL) stick fix is zero. This is because the damping produced
in pull-out makes the airplane apparently more stable. From
Eq.(3.10) (dδe/dn) is zero when (dCm/dCL) stick fix has the
following value:

pull-up UNIT-III
The quantity dF/dn is called the stick force gradient per g.
The c.g. location for which (dF/dn) equals zero is called
maneuver point stick free. Denoting it by X’mp, and recalling
that the stick free neutral point is denoted by x’NP we get:

Limits on c.g. travel
Taking into account the various considerations discussed
in this chapter, the limits on c.g. travel are shown in the
Fig.3.4.It is to be noted that generally, c.g. travel should be
limited to about 8% of m.a.c. for a general aviation airplane
and about 15% of m.a.c. for a passenger airplane. The
stringent nature of limitations on c.g. travel can be gauged
from the following example.
For an airplane of length =10 m, b = 10 m and aspect
ratio = 10, the value of c would be around one metre. Thus,
permitted c.g. travel is just 8 cm for a fuselage of 10 m length.
