You are an engineer

and you have been given

the mass properties matrix
for the aircraft below:

The matrix is in this form:

Ix

Iy

I yz

I yz

Iz

But you realize that you do not know which axis is x,

which axis is y and which axis is z. Given the aircrafts
plane of symmetry, show on the drawing which axes
are x, y and z. (You do not need equations for this problem,
think about the meaning of the mass properties.)
