I'm rather surpised that most contributors have ignored the torsional effects of dihedral. Dihedral causes the wing tips to be higher than the wing roots
Keith, this option crossed my mind, however, I sat this exam and option b) simply said
"Dihedral". Had it said
"Geometric Dihedral" then it would have been worth considering.
I understood that "dihedral" describes anything that contributes to lateral stability (i.e. sweepback, geometric dihedral, the fin etc...). I ignored this option straight away as it was not descriptive enough. Was this a little rash?
BTW, I answered "vortices" for the same reasons as
CAT 3C but I'm not at all confident about any of the exams I took on Monday so I could be wrong!
