Which of the following is NOT a consequence of a torsionally flexible wing?

  • A.A reduced divergence speed
  • B.Greater twist under aerodynamic load
  • C.An increased stalling speed in level flight
  • D.A reduced aileron reversal speed

Answer: C

Correct answer: An increased stalling speed in level flight

Torsional flexibility lowers the divergence speed, lowers the aileron reversal speed and increases the twist under load, all of which follow from the wing twisting more for a given aerodynamic moment. The stalling speed depends on the wing area, the maximum lift coefficient and the weight, and is not a torsional matter at all.
