Question: 1 / 1030

What is used to counteract Dutch roll in sweptwing aircraft?

Ailerons

Flaps

A yaw damper system

In swept-wing aircraft, Dutch roll is a combination of yaw and roll oscillations that can occur due to the wing and fuselage design. A yaw damper system is used to counteract Dutch roll by dampening the yawing motion of the aircraft. The yaw damper helps stabilize the aircraft by providing quick and precise inputs to the rudder, minimizing the adverse effects of Dutch roll. Ailerons, flaps, and spoilers do not directly address Dutch roll in swept-wing aircraft, making them incorrect choices for this particular question.
