Since the CL can be altered by the wing configuration - deployment/
retraction of flaps for a given pitch, e.g., I'm not sure that the CG
and CL need to necessarily coincide for stable flight. Also, for a
body such as an aircraft, I think the CG would theoretically be
somewhere within it while the CL is a point on the fuselage, so their
coincidence may even be an impossibility.
Ramapriya
totally wrong.
