An elevator produces a pitching moment coefficient change of \( -0.012 \) per degree. To generate \( -0.18 \) it must deflect

  • A.15 degrees
  • B.12 degrees
  • C.0.0067 degrees
  • D.21.6 degrees

Answer: A

Correct answer: 15 degrees

Divide the moment wanted by the moment per degree:

\[ \delta_e = \frac{-0.18}{-0.012} = 15^\circ \]

The result should then be checked against the travel available, typically 20 to 25 degrees, since a demand near the stop leaves nothing for manoeuvre or gusts on top of the trim requirement. The distractor 0.0067 inverts the division, giving an answer far too small to be a physical deflection.
