Abstract
This article deals with some of the stability, control and handling problems that have arisen as a result of drastic changes in aircraft configuration coupled with the advent of supersonic flight at high altitude. The article will be published in two parts. The present part contains a brief introduction to the subject of aircraft stability and control in addition to a description of the longitudinal characteristics of supersonic aircraft. The second part will be published in our next issue, and will deal with the lateral characteristics of supersonic aircraft. Some of the problems encountered in the design of the flying control system for this type of aircraft and an indication of the methods and techniques used for solving the various stability problems are also presented in the second part.
