What is true regarding a cantilever wing?

  1. It requires a lot of maintenance

  2. It needs external bracing

  3. It changes shape during flight

  4. No external bracing is needed

The correct answer is: No external bracing is needed

A cantilever wing is a type of wing design that has no external bracing or supports. This means that it is self-supporting and does not require added maintenance like other types of wing designs that may have external bracing. It also does not change shape during flight, as this would indicate structural instability. The fact that no external bracing is needed is what sets a cantilever wing apart from other wing designs, making it the correct answer.
