The transient motion in angles of attack and sideslip during a constant rolling maneuver has been analyzed. Simplified expressions are presented for the determination of the pertinent modes of motion as well as the modal coefficient corresponding to each mode.nCalculations made with and without the derivatives c Y β (side force due to sideslip) and C l a (lift-curve slope) indicate that although these derivatives increase the total damping of the system they do not markedly affect the transient motion.
