The possibility of obtaining high potential power increases at only small additional costs by employing artificial instead of natural stabilization is demonstrated. It is shown that if the requirement of static aerodynamic stability is eliminated, the drag polars and thus flight performance can be significantly improved. This improvement occurs mainly in the form of an increase in specific excess power at high lift coefficients and in an increase in the attainable maximum lift coefficients. The dynamic flight characteristics of such aircraft can be made equal to or better than the characteristics of aerodynamically stable aircraft through appropriate artificial stabilization. By incorporating suitable redundancies and other provisions, the flight safety of conventional mechanically controlled aircraft can be achieved. (Author)
