Axes of aircraft with moments- Layers of atmosphere
What are the layers of atmosphere? Troposphere- 0 to 10 Kms Stratosphere- 11 to 50 Kms Mesosphere-50 to 80 Kms Ionosphere-80 to 500 Kms Exosphere-500 to Infinity Kms What are the axes of an aircraft? Longitudinal Axis- Along the length of the fuselage Lateral axis- Along the length of wing span Normal axis- Mutually perpendicular to the above two axis What are the moments occuring with reference to those axes? Longitudinal axis- Rolling Lateral axis- Pitching moment Normal axis- yawing
