Aerodynamics

Question 1

What does ice do to your aircraft

Answer 1

Disrupts airflow and increases weight along with adding drag

Question 2

What is V1 and V2

Answer 2

V1 is takeoff decision speed. V2 is takeoff safety speed- the speed the plane can safely climb out on one engine

Question 3

What is accelerated stop distance

Answer 3

Distance it takes to accelerate a plane from a standstill to V1, experience an engine failure and stop on the runway

Question 4

what engine is considered the critical engine on a multi engine aircraft

Answer 4

for a conventional twin, the left engine

Question 5

What does V1 guarantee us? What happens if we dip below V2?

Answer 5

Minimum controllable climb speed in the event of an engine failure on takeoff. Vmc roll??

Question 6

How does density altitude affect performance

Answer 6

The greater the DA, the less the air molecules can mix with fuel or flow over the wing resulting in a decrease in performance
