Center of gravity (CG)
Center of gravity (CG). The point at which an airplane would balance if it were possible to suspend it at that point.

Center of Gravity Limits
Very important: these are the forward and aft limits in which the 'C of G' must fall if the aircraft is to be operated safely and in stable controlled flight.
center of gravity - The force of gravity acts on every individual part of an object, like an airplane. On an airplane it is the point at which all weight is considered to be concentrated. It is the point of balance.
Center of Gravity (CG) - The longitudinal and lateral point in an aircraft where it is stable; the static balance point.
CENTER OF GRAVITY - (CQ), the point on an aircraft's structure where the total combined weight forces act.
CENTER-SECTION - The central panel, or section, of an aircraft's wing.

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.

7-inch center of gravity (CG) range at maximum gross weight (increasing to 10 inches at 1,950 pounds gross weight and lower) offers good loading flexibility.

Chaff or Window: Metal foil strips dropped for aircraft to disrupt and confuse radar detection.
Chandelle: Reversal of course by a sharp climbing turn.
Center of Gravity.-The point of balance of an airplane which may be otherwise defined as the point through which the mass of an airplane acts. If the weight is too far forward the machine is nose-heavy.
The center of gravity is shown as a red dot and the center of pressure as a green dot. The tail of the kite is given as a green line at the bottom.
Side shows the kite as viewed looking along the surface.
The adjustment required will depend on the helicopter make/model as well as the particular helicopter and it's center of gravity.

This was not helped by a design defect where the center of gravity shifted rearwards once two-thirds of the fuel had been used. This had the effect of making the plane uncontrollable, resulting in an endurance of only 45 minutes in clean condition.
VMC must be determined with the most unfavorable weight and center of gravity position and with the airplane airborne and the ground effect negligible, ...
From the above we can conclude that there is a forward limit of the position of the center of gravity, forward of which there is a controllability problem for a given aircraft.
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.
Locate the airplane's center of gravity and use the onboard battery pack to help obtain the correct balance. Mount the battery pack securely using rubber bands or hook and loop fasteners.

ROTATE In flight, any aircraft will rotate about its center of gravity, a point which is the average location of the mass of the aircraft.

PRE-PLANNED LOADS. Loads set up as to weight, cube, manifested, balanced for center of gravity (CG), and ready to load upon arrival of aircraft (synonymous with "Type loads").
The chordwise distribution of lift, at high angles of attack, will not normally be represented by a heap of sand, since dry sand slumps to approximately 45 deg- forming a triangular load distribution with a centrally-located center of gravity.
The pitching movement occurs at the center of gravity (CG). The strength of the pitching movement is determined by the distance between the CG and the horizontal tail surface, ...
Yaw stability is eroded in float-equipped seaplanes by the addition of surface area in front of the center of gravity. When the airplane yaws, air hitting the front of the floats tries to maintain the yaw.
The Wrights developed a far more sophisticated technique, in which the center of gravity remained constant and equilibrium was controlled by adjusting the angles of the wings and other airfoils, thus varying the air pressure against them.
airfoil that generates 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, ...
In 1804 Cayley constructed a a model monoplane glider that was five feet (1.524 m) long. The model featured an adjustable cruciform tail, a kite-shaped wing mounted at a high angle of incidence and a moveable weight to alter the center of gravity.
