The centre of gravity envelope of a transport aircraft is bounded forward by

  • A.Fuel tank capacity
  • B.Cabin seating limits
  • C.Elevator authority to rotate and flare
  • D.Structural strength of the fuselage

Answer: C

A very forward centre of gravity makes the aircraft strongly stable but leaves too little elevator power to raise the nose. The aft limit is set instead by stability and by control sensitivity, so the usable envelope lies between them.
