Fig. 102. first consider the case in which the axis of thrust passesthrough the center of gravity. In this case, the disappearance of the thrust willnot bring any immediate disturbance in the longitudinalequilibrium of the airplane. But the equihbrium between STABILITY AND MANEUVERABILITY 143 … 144 AIRPLANE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION weight, thrust, and air reaction, will be broken, and thecomponent of head resistance, being no longer balanced bythe propeller thrust, will act as a brake, thereby reducingthe speed of the airplane; as a consequence, the reduction ofspeed brings a decrease in…
