La corde aérodynamique moyenne est la corde moyenne de l'aile. Une corde est généralement définie par une ligne droite imaginaire, dans un plan parallèle au profil, allant du bord de fuite au bord d'attaque [...] Le centre de gravité de l'avion est généralement placé à la position la plus en avant du centre de poussée de la corde aérodynamique moyenne, en vue d'obtenir la stabilité recherchée. 5, record 1, French, - corde%20moyenne%20a%C3%A9rodynamique%20de%20l%27aile

[...] nous pouvons, par un tracé géométrique simple, trouver le centre aérodynamique, dans le cas d'une demi-aile constituée de forme en plan trapézoidale ou triangulaire (aile delta). On cherche d'abord la corde moyenne aérodynamique et sur cette corde on reporte un point au premier quart de la corde. 6, record 1, French, - corde%20moyenne%20a%C3%A9rodynamique%20de%20l%27aile
