Contributions to the yawing moment derivative.

ComponentContributionStabilising
FinPlus 0.14Yes
FuselageMinus 0.05No
Tractor propellerMinus 0.02No
TotalPlus 0.07Yes

What does the table establish about the fin's sizing?

  • A.It must overcome every destabilising item
  • B.It need only match the fuselage contribution
  • C.It contributes less than the propeller
  • D.It is destabilising like the others

Answer: A

The two forward contributions together push towards instability, and only the fin's larger positive value leaves a stable total. Anything that increases those forward contributions demands a larger fin in compensation.
