Which of the following statements accurately describes the lateral-directional characteristic equation of an F-4 flying at 35,000 feet and 876 ft/s?
A) The lateral-directional characteristic equation represents the aircraft's stability and control response concerning side-to-side and up-and-down movements at the given altitude and speed.
B) The lateral-directional characteristic equation determines the relationship between the aircraft's yaw, roll, and sideslip angle when flying at 35,000 feet and 876 ft/s.
C) The lateral-directional characteristic equation primarily focuses on the aircraft's engine performance and thrust vectoring capabilities during lateral maneuvers at the specified altitude and velocity.
D) The lateral-directional characteristic equation doesn't influence the aircraft's behavior during flight at 35,000 feet and 876 ft/s; it solely relates to structural integrity.
