Which derivative is central to the manoeuvre margin, as distinct from the static margin?

  • A.Lift with elevator deflection
  • B.Drag with speed
  • C.Pitching moment with pitch rate
  • D.Pitching moment with incidence

Answer: C

The manoeuvre margin exceeds the static margin because a steady pull involves a pitch rate, and the pitch damping derivative adds a stabilising increment that a straight-and-level incidence change does not have. Pitching moment with incidence gives the static margin, which is the baseline the manoeuvre margin is compared with. Elevator lift is a small direct-lift term. Drag with speed belongs to the phugoid and to performance.
