Four theoretical investigations relating to a specific configuration are combined. Instability of the short period mode, as aircraft stiffness is reduced, is investigated from different points of view and implications with regard to aircraft controllability are worked out. Bending responses of the aircraft to discrete gusts are evaluated using the previously established mathematical model. (Author)
