Which describes a shielded horn balance?

  • A.The horn is enclosed in a sealed chamber
  • B.The horn carries the mass balance weight
  • C.The horn lies within the span of the fixed surface ahead of it
  • D.The horn projects beyond the fixed surface tip

Answer: C

In a shielded arrangement the horn sits behind the fixed surface, which smooths the flow reaching it and makes the balance less sensitive to incidence. An unshielded horn projects clear of the fixed surface and is more effective but rougher in its behaviour. A sealed chamber describes the internal balance. Horns often do carry balance weights as well, but that is a convenient coincidence rather than the definition.
