Aircraft Reference<br />

The aircraft reference axes are used to locate all <strong>for</strong>ce and moment generating<br />

components and the center <strong>of</strong> gravity. The aircraft reference axes are parallel to<br />

the body-c.g. axes. The axis origin is typically located ahead and below the aircraft<br />

at some arbitrary point within the plane <strong>of</strong> symmetry. Stations are measured<br />

positive aft along the longitudinal axis.<br />

to the pilot's right. Waterlines are measured vertically, positive upward (see<br />

fig. B-2).<br />

Local Wind<br />

'EM<br />

Buttlines are lateral distances, positive<br />

The local-wind axes systems are employed <strong>for</strong> calculation <strong>of</strong> lift and drag<br />

<strong>for</strong>ces on the empennage and on the fuselage. For each empennage surface, the origin<br />

is at the quarter point <strong>of</strong> the mean aerodynamic chord, and the lift <strong>for</strong>ce is normal<br />

to the relative wind and to a spanwise line passing through the quarter chord point.<br />
