In case (a), as noted, there would be oscillations, and under such conditions the equilibrium condition of steady flight is said to be statically stable* Expressed mathematically, the condition for… … the setting of the elevator must be determined for different conditions of flight. This is dis- cussed more fully in section 16. 3. THE METACENTRIC HEIGHT. In his most valuable paper on the fundamentals of aeronautical designing,3 Commander J. C.
