1. How does the design of an aircraft's control surfaces impact its stability in different flight regimes, and what are the trade-offs involved in optimizing these designs?

2. What is the role of flight control systems in maintaining aircraft stability, and how are these systems integrated into the broader aircraft control architecture?

3. How do external factors such as wind shear, turbulence, and icing affect the stability of an aircraft, and what strategies can be employed to mitigate these effects?

4. What is the impact of aircraft weight and balance on stability, and how are these factors accounted for in flight planning and operation?

5. How does the aerodynamic performance of an aircraft's wing and airfoil design impact its stability characteristics, and what are the key factors to consider when designing these components
