Abstract
The dynamical response of sailplanes to abrupt longitudinal manoeuvres has been studied by the author in two previous papers..... A simple expression for the incremental aerodynamic tail load corresponding to the unchecked instantaneous manoeuvers was derived from the classical 'dynamic' equations of the vertical and pitching motion....
