However, increasing one wing sweptback a certain amount alone or having the stagger to 50 per cent reduces maximum instability the same degree of sweepback and having sufficient by more than one-half. The range of instability is stagger to make the wing tips… … cC decalage and +50 per cent stagger cause CN maxi- pb mum of both wings to occur at virtually the same angle.
