Comtete set of equations governing the behaviour of rigid and flexural motions of an unguided missile are derived. Linear aeodynamic model is formulated in terms of axial distributions of missile stability derivatives employed in flight mechanics. Magnus terms are also included in the aerodynamic model. Non-linear coupling terms between the flexural and rigid body motion variables are neglected to perform the linear dynamic and static stability analyses. Effects of flexibility on the static and dynamic stability are illustrated in a numerical case study. Destabilizing effect of structural damping on the dynamic stability is also discussed briefly.
