Due to the interference of the airflow on a high wing aircraft between the fuselage and the wings, the lateral stability of the aircraft in a gusty wind situation will cause
- the upper wing to increase its lift.
- the upper wing to decrease its lift.
- the lower wing to decrease its lift.
ggmu asking:
uhmm more detailed explanation plz?

If the aircraft is upset in roll (laterally), the lower wing is presented to the airflow fully whereas the upper wing is partially obstructed by the fuselage and therefore generates less lift.
