If an aircraft is nose-heavy due to improper loading, how does this affect the amount of downward force required from the horizontal stabilizer during cruise?
In a standard aircraft, the center of gravity is typically located forward of the center of pressure, which creates a natural nose-down pitching moment. To maintain level flight, the horizontal stabilizer generates a downward aerodynamic force, known as tail-down force, to counteract this pitch and balance ....
