Center of Gravity: Used to calculate and balance the aircraft’s center of gravity. The Difference Between a Chord Line and a Camber Line The chord line is a straight line that crosses the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil. The mean camber line is drawn halfway between the upper and lower surfaces.

Have you ever wondered how pilots keep control at high speeds, during stalls, or even when systems fail? The pilot is able to control the aircrafts roll by turning the control yoke or sidestick in the cockpit. The asymmetry between the top and bottom surface of the wing is called wing camber. What Is Aircraft Stability?
