The Role of Newton’s Third Law in Aviation

Pilot Institute

If we understand it well enough, we can harness this phenomenon to help us even defy gravity. Developments in aircraft design and engine technology have allowed us to fly farther, faster, and carry more payload. The aircraft pivots about its center of gravity. The elevator raises if you pull back on the stick or yoke.

Nothing Small About It

Plane and Pilot

From the pilot’s seat it cruises near effortlessly and handles nimbly on land or water with a great combination of stability and modest control pressures. Just recognizable in the background is a horizontal stabilizer and one-piece elevator. lb/sq ft Power loading 10.32 I think I’d have figured out the trick in another couple hours.
