    Enter the variables at left using the same units for all entries.
    For a wing to be stable in pitch, its CG must be forward of the
    Aerodynamic Center AC by a safety factor called Static Margin,
    which is a percentage of the MAC (Mean Aerodynamic Chord).
    Static Margin should be between 1% and 10% for a good stability.

    Low Static Margin gives less static stability but greater elevator
    authority, whereas a higher Static Margin results in greater static
    stability but reduces elevator authority. Recommended Static Margin:
    10% for beginners, 5% for intermediate level and 1% for experts.
