Directional stability \(C_{n\beta}\) is slightly stable at low AOA and unstable at higher AOA.[^1] The dihedral effect \(C_{l\beta}\) is stable at all AOAs.[^1]
[[F-35 Flight Control Laws]] – natural lateral stability of the F-35 allows control laws to blend pedal and stick to just yaw rate commands
[[F-117 Directional Instabilities]] – weapons bays also decrease lateral stability
