A thrust of \( 40 \ \mathrm{kN} \) acts \( 0.8 \ \mathrm{m} \) below the centre of gravity. The pitching moment produced is

  • A.0.02 kN m
  • B.32 kN m nose up
  • C.32 kN m nose down
  • D.50 kN m nose up

Answer: B

Multiplying gives \( 40 \times 0.8 = 32 \) kilonewton metres, and a thrust line below the centre of gravity pitches the nose up. Applying power therefore requires a trim change on any aeroplane with underslung engines.
