The airplane used for all of the calculations in this text is the subsonic
business jet (SBJ) shown in Fig. A.1. It is powered by two GE CJ610-6
turbojets. This airplane resembles an early model of the Lear Jet, but
there are many differences. As an example, the airfoils have been chosen
so that aerodynamic data is readily available. The maximum take-off
weight is 13,000 lb which includes 800 lb of reserve fuel and 4,200 lb
of climb/cruise fuel. Hence, the zero-fuel weight is 8,000 lb. For the
calculations of this appendix, it is assumed that the center of gravity is
located 21.4 ft from the nose. The cg range is from 20.4 ft from the nose
to 21.8 ft from the nose, a total of 1.4 ft. In terms of the wing mean
aerodynamic chord, c̄, the cg varies between .15c̄ and .35c̄.
The geometric characteristics of the SBJ are developed in Sec.
A.2. Basic dimensions are measured from the three-view drawing (Fig,
A.1), and the remaining geometric quantities are calculated using for-
mulas presented in the text (Chap. 3). Next, the flight condition which
is used to make aerodynamic and stability and control calculations is
stated in Sec. A.2. It is level flight (γ=0) at h=30,000 ft, V = 597
