A fin of \( 9 \ \mathrm{m^2} \) sits \( 11 \ \mathrm{m} \) behind the centre of gravity on a wing of \( 70 \ \mathrm{m^2} \) and span \( 28 \ \mathrm{m} \). The fin volume ratio is

  • A.0.051
  • B.0.129
  • C.0.35
  • D.0.013

Answer: A

The ratio is \( (9 \times 11)/(70 \times 28) = 99/1960 \). Values around 0.04 to 0.07 are typical for transport aeroplanes, and the span is used as the reference length because yawing moments scale on the lateral dimension.
