Assertion (A): Centre of gravity is quoted as a percentage of mean aerodynamic chord.

Reason (R): Expressed that way, positions and limits transfer between aircraft of different size.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: B

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason gives the purpose. Expressing centre of gravity as a percentage of the mean aerodynamic chord non-dimensionalises it, so 25 per cent means the same aerodynamic thing on a regional jet as on a widebody. Absolute distances from a datum would be meaningless between types, and the certified envelope limits could not be compared at all.
