Consider the following statements about the vertical tail:

1. It is often sized by the engine-out case on a multi-engine aircraft.

2. It contributes to directional stability.

3. It determines the aircraft's static margin.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.2 and 3 only
  • B.1, 2 and 3
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.1 and 3 only

Answer: C

The first two are correct. Static margin is a longitudinal quantity fixed by the wing and the horizontal tail, and the fin has no part in it; the two axes are sized against quite different critical cases and share no reference length.
