The body-fixed xyz axes pass through the center of mass G of the airplane and are the principal axes of inertia. The moments of inertia about these axes are A, B, and C, respectively. The airplane is in a level turn of radius R with a speed v.

(a) Calculate the bank angle θ.

---

(b) Use Euler’s equations to calculate the rolling moment M_y that must be applied by the aerodynamic surfaces.
