Three of the following contribute to lateral stability. Which does not?

Wing taper

Dihedral

Wing sweep

A high wing position

  • A.Wing sweep
  • B.A high wing position
  • C.Wing taper
  • D.Dihedral

Answer: C

Taper affects the spanwise loading and the stall pattern but contributes nothing to the rolling moment due to sideslip. Dihedral, sweep and a high wing position all supply effective dihedral and are traded against one another.
