    Dihedral
In summary, a straight wing with no dihedral will provide more lift than any dihedral configuration, but at the cost of roll stability.

hi.
i have a doubt.
Which configuration is more advantageous to the wings in terms of lift generated and stability?
1. a wing with a full span dihedral from fuselage to the tip

2. A wing with a partial span range dihedral from tips to somewhere in the wings and then straight till fuselage

3. a wing with a partial span dihedral from fuselage to some point on wing and then straight wings till the tip.

please help if anyone knows.

It is my understanding that a straight wing with no dihedral will provide more lift than any dihedral configuration but at the cost of roll stability. As to which dihedral is better it may be a good idea to remember there are losses in lift within the proximity of the fuselage of an aircraft. A dihedral from the fuselage to some point along the span and then a straight span would provide more lift than a straight wing from the fuselage to the same point along the wing span followed by the same dihedral.

which dihedral is simple in construction?

The simplest dihedral in construction is a full span dihedral. You make one righ and one left wing and join them in the middle wit bridge or sandwhich plates. If you have the dihedral start or stop at some point along the span you have twice the joints to make.
If you are making a model it is easy to go without a dihedral and use a low center of gravity to cause stability - like a pendulum.

thanks for your advice. i will surely consider it
 

Related to Problem regarding Dihedral of wigs

1. What is a dihedral of a wig?

A dihedral of a wig refers to the angle or bend at which the hair strands of a wig are attached to the wig cap or base. It is an important factor in determining the overall appearance and shape of a wig.

2. How does the dihedral of a wig affect its style and appearance?

The dihedral of a wig can greatly impact the style and appearance of a wig. A higher dihedral angle can create a more voluminous and full look, while a lower angle can create a sleek and flat look. It can also affect the way the wig falls and moves on the wearer's head.

3. What factors influence the dihedral of a wig?

The dihedral of a wig can be influenced by various factors such as the type and quality of hair used, the method of attachment to the wig cap, and the shape and size of the wig cap. It can also be affected by the styling techniques used on the wig.

4. Can the dihedral of a wig be adjusted or changed?

In most cases, the dihedral of a wig cannot be easily adjusted or changed as it is determined by the construction of the wig. However, some wig styles may allow for slight adjustments through styling techniques such as teasing or using heat tools.

5. How can I choose the right dihedral for my wig?

The right dihedral for a wig depends on personal preference and the desired style. It is important to consider the shape of your face, the occasion you will be wearing the wig for, and the overall look you want to achieve. Consulting with a wig specialist can also help in selecting the right dihedral for your wig.
