Hi all, I recently completed a class on aircraft/spacecraft stability. I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but I was wondering how accurate KSP is? For example, when designing a spaceplane, I would choose to place the wings above the center of gravity to increase stability. I would also choose to place the center of lift about 1/3 away from the leading edge of the wings. The list of design guidelines for aircraft and spacecraft is very long, so my general question is: How accurate are the dynamics in KSP? What (if any) phenomena are known to not be in the game? Thanks!
