The coefficient of moment about the center of gravity with respect to the angle of attack is a measure of the pitching moment generated by an aircraft or an airfoil at a given angle of attack
- (Cmα)w: Coefficient of moment about the center of gravity due to the weight (gravity) force and its effect on angle of attack.
- (Cmα)f,n,p: Coefficient of moment about the center of gravity due to external forces, normal force, and propulsion force (if applicable) and their effect on angle of attack.
- (Cmα)t: Coefficient of moment about the center of gravity due to the thrust force and its effect on angle of attack.
