Note 1: Positive rotation about an axis is always in the direction of the thumb of the right hand, as can be seen in the above figure. Note : SURFAES uses a standard right handed Aerodynamic oordinate System (AS, which is conventionally used for other aspects of aircraft aerodynamic analyses. In this coordinate system, the sign of the lift is positive, when pointing upwards (i.e. towards positive, and the sign of the drag is positive, when pointing backwards (i.e. towards positive. The user must be cognizant of the orientation of the axes when interpreting results. Note 3: SURFAES comes with a routine that will convert stability derivatives to a standard body axes Stability oordinate System (SS. This is typically the default for stability and control related tools. ocument Title Page Numbers stab.doc Surfaces - Validation Page 4 of 17
