There is a balance point in the middle (called a fulcrum), with weight on both sides of the fulcrum. For an aircraft in straight and level flight, the downward forces on both sides of the fulcrum are equal.
The point of attachment is the aircraft's center of gravity or balance point. Most jet aircraft have swept wings, meaning the wings are angled back toward the rear of the plane.
CENTER OF GRAVITY (CG or CofG) - The longitudinal and lateral point in an aircraft where it is stable; the static balance point.
CHORD - The measurable distance between the leading and trailing edges of a WINGFORM.
CG Center of Gravity. A measurement used when balancing blades, as well as the model overall. Describes a central point in a given body, where all weight is considered to be concentrated. A central balance point.
the lift necessary to get and keep, an aircraft off the ground. Like the fuselage to which they are attached, they are made of aluminum alloy panels riveted together. The point of attachment is the aircraft's center of gravity, or balance point.
