Abstract
The paper considers the applications of six-degree of freedom mathematical model of a light-sport aircraft and analytically reveals aircraft dynamic response both longitudinal and lateral-directional stability. The model composes of both the kinematics equations of motion and the kinetics equations of aerodynamic forces and moments, and it is known as the aerodynamic model equations. Simulation results show responses of the perturbed dynamic system at the trim condition, and indicate the dynamic stability of both short-period pitching oscillation and phugoid in longitudinal axes. The spiral, roll subsidence, and dutch roll modes in lateral-directional axes are dynamical stable as well. These are essential to understand and evaluate the dynamic behavior, stability, safety and other aspects of the designed aircraft through mathematical model before conducting operational flight test.
