Consider the following component and contribution pairs:

Tailplane - Strongly stabilising

Fuselage - Generally destabilising

Wing with aft centre of gravity - Destabilising

Tailplane - Destabilising

How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

  • A.Only one
  • B.Only two
  • C.All four
  • D.Only three

Answer: D

Correct answer: Only three

The tailplane is strongly stabilising, the fuselage is generally destabilising, and a wing with the centre of gravity aft of its aerodynamic centre is destabilising - three correct pairs. The fourth, which calls the tailplane destabilising, contradicts the first: the tail is the component that makes the conventional layout stable, since it is the only one supplying a large negative contribution.
