Using (2.6,4b) this becomes

The difference (h’n — h) is called the control-free static margin, K’n. When representa­tive numerical values are used in (2.6,13) one finds that hn – h’n may be typically about 0.08. This represents a substantial forward movement of the NP, with conse­quent reduction of static margin, pitch stiffness, and stability.
