What is the principal purpose of a Mach-trim system in the longitudinal flight-control system?

Accepted Answer

To improve longitudinal speed stability by applying a Mach-dependent correction to the pitch-control system, with the mechanism depending on the aircraft type

Answer

Search for the ideal CG location by transferring the fuel into the horizontal stabilizer.

Answer

Interlock the operation of the stick shaker at the oncoming of the high speed stall.

Answer

Trim the pitch-up tendency at a high Mach number.
