ANSWER - rectangular
The amount of yawing moment that the elevator can generate is affected by which two factors? -
CORRECT ANSWER - Aerodynamic force / Distance from C.G. to elevator
What happens if "Safety Load Factor" is exceeded during flight? - CORRECT ANSWER -
catastrophic failure of the aircraft structure
What causes adverse yaw? - CORRECT ANSWER - The downward deflected aileron
producing more drag
