Principles of Flighthard#592

Dihedral effect (Clβ) is a measure of:

A

Directional stability

B

Yawing moment due to roll rate

C

Pitching moment due to angle of attack

D

Rolling moment due to sideslip — the lateral stability derivative

Correct

Explanation

Clβ (C-sub-l-beta) represents the rolling moment coefficient per degree of sideslip — the fundamental lateral stability parameter.
