Which lateral mode is most affected by the yawing moment of inertia?

  • A.The Dutch roll
  • B.The roll subsidence
  • C.The spiral
  • D.None of them

Answer: A

Yawing inertia divides the yawing moment derivatives, so it sets the Dutch roll frequency through \( N_\beta = C_{n_\beta}\bar q S b/I_{zz} \) and its damping through the same division. A long, heavily loaded fuselage therefore wags more slowly. Roll subsidence depends on rolling inertia rather than yawing inertia. The spiral criterion is a ratio of products in which the inertias largely cancel, so it is far less sensitive. Saying none of them ignores the definition of every dimensional derivative in the problem.
