Calculation of Longitudinal Static Stability and Controllability for Cessna 172 Aircraft

U ovom radu napravljen je eksperiment ispitivanja uzdužne statičke stabilnosti zrakoplova generalne, odnosno opće avijacije Cessna 172, pomoću ispitivanja zrakoplova u samom letu, te izračuna pomoću formula opisanih u radu. Cilj rada je opisati stabilnost i upravljivost zrakoplova općenito, te podatke i rezultate dobivene izvođenjem eksperimenta ispitivanja uzdužne statičke stabilnosti na zrakoplovu, usporediti s rezultatima dobivenim izračunom. Na kraju rada izloženi su rezultati i zaključci provedenih eksperimenata i izračuna.In this paper, an experiment was made to test the longitudinal static stability of the Cessna 172 general aviation aircraft, by testing the aircraft in flight, and calculating it using the formulas described in the paper. The aim of the work is to describe the stability and maneuverability of the aircraft in general, and to compare the data and results obtained by performing the longitudinal static stability test experiment on the aircraft, with the results obtained by calculation. At the end of the paper, the results and conclusions of the conducted experiments and calculations are presented
