With no control inputs after the forward c.g. shift, you will
experience a lower pitch attitude and a subsequent sink rate at constant airspeed. Moving the CG forward, with no control inputs, will change the equilibrium lift coefficient for the aircraft, making it smaller. The aircraft's velocity will increase, using gravity for thrust. You can see this in a 152. Both pilots lean forward, and the aircraft descends and speeds up. Both pilots lean back, and the aircraft climbs and slows down. If you move the CG forward, and want to keep the same airspeed, you will have to increase the tail down force, i.e., nose up trim. In this scenario, you will have the same airspeed, but slightly higher drag and will incur a slight descent. |
