This report explains the methods involved in estimating aircraft moments of inertia for preliminary design purposes. Assumptions that were made for this procedure and the derviation of equations that evolved from these assumptions are included. An example using the method on the C-5A aircraft is shown. This procedure requires a knowledge of the major aircraft group weights, the location of major components (landing gear, avionics bay, etc.), geometry information, and inertias of some major subsystem items. Using this data, the moments of inertia about the roll, pitch, and yaw axes are calculated as well as the roll-yaw cross-product of inertia. (Author)
