* '''Normal: CN''' Normal force is the portion of the aerodynamic force that is parallel to the aircraft's vertical (Z) axis. For very small angles of attack it is analogous to Lift. | * '''Normal: CN''' Normal force is the portion of the aerodynamic force that is parallel to the aircraft's vertical (Z) axis.

Which ever system is used, the forces are applied at the Aerodynamic Reference Point (AeroRP). If the AeroRP is not coincident to the model's center of gravity (CG), yaw, pitch and roll moments are created that do not appear in the moments sections. | |||
