CG Aircraft center of gravity GLYPH<127> Center of gravity is under wing hang point for  level flight.  GLYPH<127> Center of lift is directly above center of gravity,  above the wing hang point for level flight. Thrust line is typically  designed to be at vertical  center of gravity Fuel tank Figure 2-22. CG location with passenger shown for level flight. Figure 2-23. Axes of rotation.  Axes of Rotation  Lateral Axis— Pitch 2-12 rotates the nose down while increasing the AOA (decreasing  speed) rotates the nose up.  Increasing the thrust of the propeller rotates the WSC aircraft  pitch up (nose up) to climb and pitch down (nose down) at  reduced throttle.  Motion about the lateral axis, or pitch, is controlled by AOA/ speed and the throttle. Lowering the AOA (increasing speed)  The three axes of rotation intersect at the CG.
