Discussion
A high wing swept aeroplane exhibits a Dutch roll that takes many cycles to damp, although its directional stability is entirely adequate.
What is the likely cause and the usual remedy?
Answer: B
Sweep and a high wing both add dihedral effect, and together they can overwhelm the directional stability. Drooping the wing tips removes part of the excess and restores an acceptable balance between the two lateral modes.
