BMAA Centre of Gravity Calculation Guide
Рет қаралды 18,276
Күн бұрынA short video by the British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA) explaining the principles of how to calculate an aircraft's centre of gravity. Topics include; defining terms, explaining the principle of moments, and finding information on aircraft datasheets. The video ends by working through a practical example on a fixed-wing or 3-Axis Microlight.

Excellent. Anyone reading the comments, please watch it all. It may seem heavy going to start with, but it isn’t and is a very clear and helpful video.

While your calculations are correct you go about it in a long windedway. Basically, if you remive the hash line from the box between total weight, and total moment, then divide the momemt by the weight you get your answer. A demonstration on excel would be a lot simpler.

Very interesting. I may or may not be more confused now lol. Good Information though.

May I ask about how can we choose the datum line and if the datum line is different between aircraft
@BritishMicrolighting Жыл бұрын
The datum will be described in the aeroplane's paperwork and will quite likely be different for each type.
