STATIC LONGITUDINAL STABILITY
Introduction :
The study of the static longitudinal stability of an airplane is very important. Longitudinal stability, as we shall see, is intimately related to the e.g.

Longitudinal stability depends on the location of the centre of gravity, the
stabiliser area and how far the stabiliser is placed from the main wing.
Most aircraft would be completely unstable without the horizontal stabiliser.

The characteristic of returning to the trimmed angle of attack after a displacement ...

Longitudinal Stability: That quality which tends to correct any disturbance in the plane of symmetry (that is, in pitching). An aeroplane is longitudinally stable when it resists any external force tending to raise or lower the nose.

Longitudinal stability
Longitudinal stability is associated with the restoration of aoa to the trimmed aoa after a disturbance changes it.
Angle of incidence ...

[edit] Longitudinal stability
A tailless aeroplane has no separate horizontal stabiliser, either behind (Tailplane) or in front of (canard foreplane) the main lifting surface.

Static longitudinal stability. The aerodynamic pitching moments required to return the aircraft to the equilibrium angle of attack.

Longitudinal Stability.-Longitudinal stability has to do with the tendency of an airplane to maintain its proper pitching angle.

They refer to the Y axis as the lateral axis and the X axis as the longitudinal axis, which are sensible enough, but then they refer to Y-axis stability as longitudinal stability and X-axis stability as lateral stability — ...

By the middle of 1809, Cayley had investigated the improved lifting capacities of cambered wings, the movement of the centre of pressure, longitudinal stability, and the concept of streamlining.

STABILATOR - A movable horizontal tail that combines the actions of a stabilizer and elevator, increasing longitudinal stability while creating a pitching moment.

TAILPLANE (STABILIZER) - Primary horizontal airfoil surface of tail unit. Can be fixed, or may have variable incidence, and its purpose is to provide longitudinal stability.
...

edge of the stabilator rises, the trim tab deflects upward, but with increased travel. This increases the elevator's "feel" by adding to the force the pilot must exert to deflect it up or down. It also enhances the airplane's longitudinal stability.
