THE phugoidfrequencyis thoughtto be inverselyproportionalto the forward speed, although this has never been proved. Three counterexamples to this conviction are presented. Subsequently, it is shown that if the speed alone is varied, keeping the aerodynamic and thrust derivatives fixed by some means, the phugoid frequency remains unchanged, establishing that the phugoid frequency is independentof speed. The widespreadbelief of the dependencyof the phugoid frequency on speed perhaps results from the fact that, in most instances,the aerodynamicderivativesvary with speed in such a manner as to make the phugoid time period roughly proportional to the speed.
