Aerodynamic Center

Studying Principles of Flight and struggling to understand the AC.

Quote; Using the aerodynamic center as the location where the aerodynamic force is applied eliminates the problem of the movement of the center of pressure with angle of attack in aerodynamic analysis.

But CP moves with AOA? And why is it important to know AC?
