Question

Trailing edge deflection decreases the camber of the aerofoil section.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question in an international level competition.

I would like to ask this question from Lift Force in division Aircraft Force Systems and the Equations of Motion of Aircraft Performance

Answer 1

Right option is (b) False

To explain: Trailing edge deflection decreases the camber of the aerofoil section. This results in shifting the lift characteristics upwards when the zero angle of attack becomes more negative.
