← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a tailstrike occurs during takeoff?
A)Reduced angle of attack
B)Premature control surface stall
C)Increased structural bending moment✓
D)Elevator effectiveness is diminished
💡 Explanation
Increased structural bending moment results from the ground contact because the tailstrike impacts the aircraft's pitch. This induces high loads within the fuselage as a bending moment, therefore causing structural stress, rather than simple aerodynamic effects initially.
