Abstract

The equations of motion program L217 (EOM) is described. The program formulates the matrix coefficients for a second order linear differential equation which describes the motion of an airplane relative to its level equilibrium flight condition. Aerodynamic data from FLEXSTAB or Doublet Lattice (L216) programs are used to derive the equations for quasi-steady or complete unsteady aerodynamics.
