Extract

This paper will discuss various methods of defining the vertical in aircraft. It is unrealistic to examine the vertical in navigation only in terms of providing a reference for sextant altitude measurement and the paper will therefore discuss more general problems of aircraft stability, which can themselves to some extent be studied by means of the sextant.
