Keel effect
In aeronautics, keel effect is the result of the sideforce-generating surfaces being above (or below) the center of mass (which coincides with the center of gravity) in ''any'' aircraft. Examples of such surfaces are the vertical stabilizer, rudder, and parts of the fuselage. When an aircraft is in a sideslip, these surfaces generate sidewards lift forces. If the surface is above or below the center of gravity, the sidewards lift forces generate a rolling moment. This "rolling moment caused by sideslip" is "dihedral effect". Keel effect is the contribution of these side forces to rolling moment (as sideslip increases), i.e. keel effect is the contribution of the side forces to dihedral effect. Sideforce producing surfaces ''above'' the center of gravity will ''increase'' dihedral effect, while sideforce producing surfaces below the center of gravity will decrease dihedral effect.
Increased dihedral effect (helped or hindered by keel effect) results in a greater tendency for the aircraft to return to level flight when the aircraft is put into a bank. Or, reduces the tendency to diverge to a greater bank angle when the aircraft starts wings-level.
Keel effect is also called "Pendulum Effect" because a lower center of gravity increases the effect of sideways forces (above the center of gravity) in producing a rolling moment. This is because the ''moment arm is longer'', ''not'' because of gravitational forces. A low center of gravity is like a pendulum (which has a ''very'' low center of gravity).
