Which statement about historical regressions is INCORRECT?

  • A.They extrapolate reliably beyond the aircraft they were fitted to
  • B.They give a fast first estimate
  • C.They must be matched to the aircraft class
  • D.They are replaced by physics-based methods as the design firms up

Answer: A

Correct answer: They extrapolate reliably beyond the aircraft they were fitted to

This is the incorrect statement. A regression is an interpolation within its sample and carries no authority outside it; applied to a configuration unlike anything in the data it can be badly wrong in either direction. The other three are true - regressions are fast, they must be matched to the class, and they give way to physics-based methods once the design is defined well enough to support them.
