We will cover pitching moments, explaining how force imbalances affect nose-up and nose-down tendencies, and examine how different types of stability—longitudinal, directional, and lateral—work together to ensure safe and predictable flight. You will also learn why some aircraft, like aerobatic planes and fighter jets, are intentionally designed with reduced stability to enhance maneuverability.</p>

The "Stability" course explores the essential principles that govern how an aircraft maintains or changes its flight attitude after being disturbed. Students will learn how stability affects safety, performance, and maneuverability.
