Airplane Airplane Airplane Airplane CG CG CG CG
Airplane Center of Gravity. Imaginary point in which
the airplane mass is assumed to be concentrated for
mass and balance calculations. The distance from the
reference datum is found by dividing the total
moment by the total mass of the airplane.
CG ARM
