The aerodynamic rudder balance…

  • A

    Improves the rudder effectiveness.

  • B

    Reduces the control surfaces.

  • C

    Reduces the control stick forces.

  • D

    Delays the stall.

Refer to figure.
An aerodynamic rudder is a movable surface located on the vertical tail of an aircraft. It helps control the yaw, or side-to-side movement, of the aircraft. By deflecting the rudder, pilots can steer the aircraft left or right.

The aerodynamic rudder balance makes it easier for pilots to move the rudder by using airflow to help push it in the right direction. This means pilots don't have to use as much force on the controls, making it smoother and less tiring to steer the plane, especially during tricky maneuvers or long flights.
