Hi All,
Can anyone answer this question - which transport aircraftwould benefit from a dihedral
Low wing or High wing

Dihidral is normally found on low wing aircraft to assist in lateral stability.
You would usually associate annhedral with high wing aircraft - this is to reduce the lateral stability because they tend to be too stable due to the high wing 'pendulem' effect.
