Aerodynamics Of Flight Flashcards
1
Q
What causes adverse Yaw
A
When turning the aileron deflected down produces more lift and therefore more drag. The increased drag pulls the nose in the opposite dirrection of the turn.
2
Q
What is true airspeed?
A
the speed of aircraft relative to the air you are flying through
3
Q
What is a standard rate turn
A
A complete turn in 2 minutes.
3 degrees per second
4
Q
What is induced drag?
A
the drag caused by the wings creating lift
5
Q
A heavier airplane, due to increased load, will stall at a higher or lower airspeed?
A
higher speed
6
Q
A
