Attempts to correlate these longitudinal-

7、stability data with the longitudinal-stabilitydata com-puted on the basis of reference 1 indicated that themethods of reference 1 were inadequate when applied tounconventional designs. A more rational method hastherefore been developed for computing the longitudinalstability of airplanes in terms of

8、 the stick-fixed neutralpoint, which yields results in good agreement with flightresults. This method differs from the method of refer-ence 1 chiefly in the procedure for estimating the effectson longitudinal stability of the windmilling propellerand of the fuselage and nacelles, although the differ
