The position of the center of gravity cg, which is determined by the distribution of weight either by design or by the pilot, can also affect the longitudinal stability of an airplane. The conventional design is well known for its low risk and ease of control and manufacturability. A conventional design is also widely used in the rc community because it is the most e cient tail design for the speed rc planes are expected to y it. Applied methods and procedures provides the practicing engineer with a versatile handbook that serves as the first source for finding answers to realistic aircraft design. Writing a book on airplane design is impossible without the supply of a large amount of data. This method will allow you to design an aircraft relatively easily with just a few sheets of paper, a pencil and an eraser to make corrections. If the cg is too far forward, the airplane is very nose heavy.

History however, as even a brief internet search will reveal, shows many examples of aircraft design that most definitely do not fit into the conventional design basket. Moatamedi3, c 1master student, faculty of technology, narvik university college, narvik, norway. Modern aircraft design has evolved to the point now where is a fairly stable range of possible conventional forms of aircraft, designed for a multitude of different purposes.
