Static stability
Encyclopedia
Static stability is the ability of a robot to remain upright when at rest, or under acceleration and deceleration.
Static stability may also refer to:
In aircraft or missiles:
In meteorology:
In sailing:
Static stability may also refer to:
In aircraft or missiles:
- Static marginStatic marginStatic margin is a concept used to characterize the static stability and controllability of aircraft and missiles.*In aircraft analysis, static margin is defined as the distance between the center of gravity and the neutral point of the aircraft....
— a concept used to characterize the static stability and controllability of aircraft and missiles. - Longitudinal static stabilityLongitudinal static stabilityLongitudinal static stability is the stability of an aircraft in the longitudinal, or pitching, plane during static conditions. This characteristic is important in determining whether an aircraft will be able to fly as intended...
— the stability of an aircraft in the longitudinal, or pitching, plane during static (established) conditions.
In meteorology:
- Static stabilityFluid staticsFluid statics is the science of fluids at rest, and is a sub-field within fluid mechanics. The term usually refers to the mathematical treatment of the subject. It embraces the study of the conditions under which fluids are at rest in stable equilibrium...
(also called hydrostatic stability or vertical stability) — the ability of a fluid at rest to become turbulent or laminar due to the effects of buoyancy.
In sailing:
- Static stability — the angle of roll, or heel, achieved under constant wind conditions.
