Manoeuverability, manoeuver stability and stick force stability
Good afternoon,
I have been wondering a few things about vocabulary after having seen the following question out of Fly Around database (Principles Of Flight) :
The (1) stick force stability and the (2) manoeuvre stability are positively affected by:
b) (1) forward CG movement (2) forward CG movement
(this is the right answer).
- I wanted to know what does "Manoeuver stability" exactly means.
- Is that right to say an aircraft with high manoeuver stability has low
manoeuverability ? Which would mean that the more stable an aircraft is
the slower it responds to pilot inputs.
- What does "Stick force stability" means ? I do know what "stick force" is
but truely I do not see any sense in adding the word "stability" at the end
of that expression.
Thanks a lot.
