Concept

The aerospace engineering discipline governing an aircraft or UAV's natural tendency to return to equilibrium (stability) and the ability of pilots or autopilots to command changes in flight attitude, speed, and trajectory (control); fundamental to safe and effective flight across all vehicle types and operational regimes.

A disciplina de engenharia aeroespacial que rege a tendência natural de uma aeronave ou VANT em retornar ao equilíbrio (estabilidade) e a capacidade de pilotos ou pilotos automáticos em comandar mudanças em atitude, velocidade e trajetória de voo (controle); fundamental para voo seguro e eficaz em todos os tipos de veículos e regimes operacionais.
