When a large airliner say, 747/A380 is in flight, and passengers, cabin crew with carts etc are moving about:
(A) Does the CofG of the aircraft alter enough to make a difference to the trim and alter the in flight attitude.
(B) Is it only fore and aft trim effected or is the movement enough to effect the transverse component also
(C) If the CofG does alter enough to effect the attitude is it a dead weight/cable operated or a fluid transfer/pumped system that is used.
Apologies if it has been covered before but couldn't find anything in the search.
Many Thanks
