Consider the following statements about slender delta wings:

1. They develop nonlinear vortex lift at high incidence.

2. Their aspect ratio is low compared with a subsonic transport wing.

3. They stall conventionally at about fifteen degrees of incidence.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.2 and 3 only
  • B.1, 2 and 3
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.1 and 3 only

Answer: C

The first two are correct. The third is false: the leading-edge vortices keep producing lift far beyond a conventional stalling angle, and what eventually limits them is vortex breakdown rather than an ordinary trailing-edge stall.
