Assertion (A): The largest possible static margin should always be sought.

Reason (R): A larger margin gives a steeper restoring moment.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: D

Correct answer: A is false but R is true

The reason is sound - a larger static margin does give a steeper restoring moment - but the assertion does not follow from it. Too much stability makes the aeroplane heavy in pitch and sluggish to manoeuvre, demands more elevator and more download to trim, and so costs drag. The margin is chosen as a compromise, not maximised.
