The principal stabilising contribution to directional stability comes from

  • A.The wing
  • B.The fuselage
  • C.The tailplane
  • D.The fin and rudder

Answer: D

The vertical surface sits well behind the centre of gravity, so a small side force there generates a large restoring yawing moment. Its area and moment arm are combined into a fin volume ratio in the same way as for the tailplane.
