A high wing position contributes to the dihedral effect through

  • A.Reduced induced drag
  • B.Fuselage interference in sideslip
  • C.The wing being further from the ground
  • D.The greater wing area available

Answer: B

The flow around the fuselage in sideslip is deflected upward on the windward side of a high wing and downward on the leeward side. The effect is equivalent to several degrees of geometric dihedral and is one reason high wing aeroplanes need little or none.
