So, you are putting the movement of the C of G down to the movement of fuel due to acceleration then?
Richard
Thats not what I said… as you accelerate, the c of g will start to move aft, resulting in a nose up attitude, that coupled with the nose pitch up caused by airspeed over the wing (c of P moving forwards), requires a nose-down trim input of significant magnitude which only increases the faster you go….
How does the centre of gravity – the point at which you could consider the mass of the aircraft to be be centred – move? Unless the aircraft changes shape???
Richard
Sorry, but CofG will not move aft with pitch up, down or anything.
Oh, I’m so glad you said that, I was getting worried

That reminds me of a famous film scene:

Seafire?
Yeah, well, whatever….
😮
Richard
Look, I can spot different manufacturers of Sopwith Pups, but spits and seafires are a foreign land. Spit shaped plane and a ship – an easy mistake to make surely…
Seafire, ship,twin engines, flying disk, sailors, crane, hmm…. That link is going to take some hunting out.
Bit like hunting the Snark

It’s a Boojum you see
