Widening the main gear track
Answer: A
Correct answer: Reduces the overturn angle
Widening the track moves the tipping axis outboard, so the line from the centre of gravity to that axis lies closer to the vertical and the angle between them is smaller.
A smaller overturn angle is the desirable outcome, which is the point most often got the wrong way round: the aircraft must lean further before its weight vector crosses the tipping axis. The tip-back angle is unaffected, being a matter of the longitudinal position of the mains rather than their lateral spacing.
