Center of Pressure

The Center of Pressure (CP) is a point on a surface where the total sum of pressure forces acts, resulting in a balance. In simpler terms, it's the location where the effective force of fluid pressure, such as air or water, can be considered to act when a body (like an airplane wing or a submerged object) is subjected to fluid flow. Understanding the CP helps engineers design stable structures and vehicles, as its position influences how forces affect movement and control in various environments, ensuring safety and efficiency in operation.
