[[image - drawing of an aircraft showing the forces and moments]]

Positive directions of axes and angles (forces and moments) are shown as arrows]]

[{5 Columns}]
Axis Designation | Axis Symbol | Force (parallel) to axis symbol | Moment about axis Designation | Moment about axis Symbol | Moment about axis Positive direction | Angle Designation | Angle Symbol | Velocities Linear (component along axis) | Velocities Angular

Longitudinal | X | X | Rolling | L | Y→Z | Roll | φ | u | P

Lateral | Y | Y | Pitching | M | Z→X | Pitch | θ | v | q 

Normal | Z | Z | Yawing | N | X→Y | Yaw | ψ | w | r

Absolute coefficients of moment C [sub] l = L/qbS (rolling) C [sub] m = M/qcS C [sub] n = N/qbS (yawing) Angle of set of control surface (relative to neutral position), (sigma). (Indicate surface by proper subscript.)
