A study of the pitching moments and the stability characteristics of monoplanesThis note presents a study of the pitching moments and the stability characteristics of monoplanes. Expressions for the pitching-moment coefficient and the Diehl stability coefficient for the monoplane are developed, suitable for the use of airplane designers. The effective difference between the high-wing and low-wing types is portrayed and discussed. Comparisons between experimental and computed values are made. Charts for use in the solution of numerical values of the pitching-moment and stability coefficients are presented.
