A rigid body is a system of particles in which the distances between the particles do not
vary. To describe the motion of a rigid body we use two systems of coordinates, a space-
fixed system xe, ye, ze, and a moving system xb, yb, zb, which is rigidly fixed in the body and
participates in its motion.
Rigid body equation of motion are obtained from Newton’s second law
Fixed frame
CM Center of mass of the airplane “inertial axis”
ω Angular velocity
ω = pi + qj+ rk
Newton’s second law
Summation of all external forces acting on a body is equal to the time rate of change of the
momentum of the body
Summation of all external moments acting on a body is equal to the time rate of change
of the moment of the momentum (angular momentum)
The time rate of change of linear and angular momentum are referred to an absolute
or inertial reference frame
F,M Forces and Moments due to Aerodynamic, Propulsive and Gravitational forces
Force Equation
Force equation:
Moment Equation
The larger moment of inertia, the greater will be the resistance to rotation.
NOTE: If the reference frame is not rotating, then as the airplane rotates the moments and
the products of inertia will vary with the time To simplify the problem we will fix the axis
system to the aircraft (body axis system)
