A pilot interactive multimedia computer program on aircraft longitudinal static stability and trim is described. The module simulates typical features of an undergraduate course and has been evaluated by third-year undergraduate students familiar with the topic. In general, favourable comments have been made, particularly concerning the ease of use, overall presentation, level of interactivity and the simulation of a wind-tunnel experiment. Applications of the program are suggested.
