Additionals Aeridinamic

Question 1

What is the relationship between induced drag and parasite drag when gross weight is increased?

Answer 1

Induced drag increases more than parasite drag.

Question 2

What effect , if any, does altitude have on VMC for an airplane with unsupercharged engines?

Answer 2

Decreases with altitude

Question 3

What is the purpose of the flight spoilers?

Answer 3

Reduce lift without decreasing airspeed.

Question 4

What affects indicated stall speed?

Answer 4

weight, load factor and power.

Question 5

Which is the purpose of the wing mounted vortex generators?

Answer 5

Delays the onset of drag divergence at high speeds and aids in maintaining aileron effectiveness at high speed.

Question 6

When are inboard ailerons normally used?

Answer 6

Low speed and high speed flight

Question 7

What effect does an increase in airspeed have on a coordinated turn while maintaining a cosntant angle of banck and altitude?

Answer 7

The rate of turn will decrease resulting in no changes in load factor.

Question 8

By changing the angle of attck of a wing , the pilot can control the airplane’s

Answer 8

lift, airspeed, and drag

Question 9

What will be the ratio bet ween speed and lift if angle of attack remain constant and speed is doubled?

Answer 9

Lift will be 4 times greather

Question 10

Subsonic range

Answer 10

Mach below .75

Question 11

Transonic range

Answer 11

Mach .75 to 1.20

Question 12

Supersonic range

Answer 12

Mach 1.20 to 5.0

Question 13

Hypersonic range

Answer 13

Mach above 5.0

Question 14

What is the purpose of a servo tab?

Answer 14

Reduce control forces by deflecting in the proper direction to move a primary flight control.

Question 15

If no corrective action is taken by the pilot as angle of bank is increased?

Answer 15

Lift decreases and sink rate increases.

Question 16

In a light , twin engine airplane with one engine inop., when is it acdeptable to allow the ball of a slip-skid indicator to be deflected outside the reference lines?

Answer 16

When operating at any airspeed of VMC or greather …

Question 17

What is the purpose of an elevator trim tab?

Answer 17

Modify the downward tail load for various speeds in flight eliminating flight control pressures.

Question 18

What performance should a pilot of a twin engine be able to maintain at VMC?

Answer 18

heading

Question 19

What is one disadvantage of a sweptwing desing?

Answer 19

The wing tip section stalls prior to the wing root.

Question 20

What flight condition should be expected when an aircraft leaves ground effect?

Answer 20

An increase in induced drag requiring a higher angle of attack.

Question 21

What is the advantage of a sweepback desing wing over a straighwing?

Answer 21

The critical mach number will increase significantly.
