1. Perform a longitudinal stability analysis for your aircraft. Calculate the


static magrin for the most forward and rearward CG conditions (with full
fuel load and empty fuel tanks). Make sure the static margin is within
acceptable limits. For the downwash derivative, use the method outlined in
Appendix B.5 in “Dynamics of Flight”, B. Etkin and L.D. Reid.
2. If you find that your aircraft is deficient in any one of these conditions,
revise your design and show the steps of your work.
3. Write a report. Give references for your analysis. Give reasons for the
assumptions and choices that you will make.
