Moment equilibrium is usually called 'longitudinal trim'.Gordon Vigurs 13:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

A tailless aircraft may be statically stable, provided the centre of gravity is ahead of the aerodynamic centre.Gordon Vigurs 10:27, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

A stable aircraft cannot be flown 'hands off' for long, as the long period phugoid and spiral modes will become manifest. This article is restricted to the short period pitch response, the actual behaviour is somewhat more complex. See Flight dynamics. However, this is a reasonable qualitative introduction.

[edit] Merger talks

I have added horizontal stabilizer to the definition and redirected it here, as I consider this article more specific than stabilizer (aircraft). I am also taking out the 'merge' template since the 'discussion' link in it points here, where there is no discussion of it. If anyone objects or questions any of these moves, please discuss here.
