Would anyone care to comment on the accuracy of this illustration of how
wing dihedral works from a 1981 Jeppesen Sanderson book. http://makeashorterlink.com/?B25A35DCC The accompanying statement reads: "When an aircraft with dihedral rolls so that one wind is lower than the other, the lower wing will have more effective lift than the raised wing because it is not tilted from the horizontal as much. The imbalance in lift tends to raise the lower wing and restore level flight." Dallas |
