Discussion
A designer lengthens an aeroplane's fuselage by two metres, moving the tailplane further aft without changing its area.
What is the principal effect on longitudinal stability?
Answer: D
Volume ratio scales directly with the moment arm, so the tail's stabilising power rises in proportion. Lengthening the fuselage is often preferred to enlarging the tail, since area brings weight and drag as well as stability.
