Which change does NOT relax the landing constraint?

  • A.Improving the landing flap system
  • B.Accepting a longer landing field
  • C.Accepting a higher approach speed
  • D.Increasing the design weight

Answer: D

Correct answer: Increasing the design weight

Increasing the design weight does not relax the landing constraint. The constraint is a limit on wing loading, a ratio, so the line does not move - a heavier aircraft simply needs a proportionally larger wing to stay within the same limit, which is a penalty rather than a relaxation.

The other three all relax it. A better flap system raises the landing \( C_{L,max} \) and moves the line right; a longer landing field and a higher permitted approach speed both raise the allowable stalling speed and so do the same.
