In the case of combat aircraft, designed-in lack of stability can offer faster turn rates, tighter turn radii and reductions in fuel consumption during manoeuvring flight, plus the ability to fly in unconventional attitudes(such as extreme angles of attack) or perform unconventional manoeuvres. The reduction in the energy required to perform manoeuvres comes largely from the decrease in trim drag involved in initiating the manoeuvre : the movement of flight control surfaces required to alter the aircraft's attitude is much less than is needed with a positively stable aircraft, and the actual control surfaces themselves can be made smaller.  1, record 1, English, - trim%20drag

Pour un avion de combat, un manque de stabilité prévu au départ offre divers avantages: l'appareil peut effectuer des virages plus serrés et la consommation de carburant est réduite pendant les manœuvres. On peut également faire prendre à l'appareil des attitudes inhabituelles (angles d'attaque extrêmes, par exemple). L'économie d'énergie vient en grande partie du fait que la traînée d'équilibrage est moindre au moment où sont amorcées les manœuvres, ce qui permet de réduire le braquage des gouvernes et même leur surface.  1, record 1, French, - tra%C3%AEn%C3%A9e%20d%27%C3%A9quilibrage

It [the satellite] becomes very stable because the satellite as a whole is acting as a gyroscope.  3, record 2, English, - spin%2Dstabilized

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS

A spacecraft design which allows the satellite to spin in place in order to provide altitude stabilization while allowing the antenna to remain motionless through the use of a motor and bearing system. This allows the rotation of the satellite while keeping the antenna array oriented correctly in relation to the Earth. This system allows the creation of a "spin-stabilized satellite".  4, record 2, English, - spin%2Dstabilized
