Wat voor flap is dit: Krueger flap 18. Which of the following statements is correct: A static stability means that the aeroplane is also dynamically stable about the relevant axis B Dynamic stability means that faster being displaced from original equilibrum condition, the aeroplane will return to that condition without oscillation C Dynamic stability is possible only when the aeroplane is statically stable about the relevant axis D a dynamically stable aeroplane would be almost impossible to fly manually 19.
