Q

Coefficient of lift

A

-relative measure of airfoils lifting capabilities
-higher camber will have greater CL
-Cl increases to critical angle of attack the decreases rapidly in stall

18
Q

Reducing parasite drag

A

-streamlining
-retractable undercarriage
-clean aircraft
-wax
-flush rivets
-landing gear fairings
-streamlined design

19
Q

Induced drag

A

-lower surface airflow outwards
-upper surface airflow inwards

20
Q

Wingtip vortices

A

-clockwise on left
-counter clockwise on right
-greatest at low airspeeds, clean configuration, heavy

21
Q

Reducing induced drag

A

-aspect ratio = span/average chord
-winglets
-ground effects

22
Q

Airfoil design

A

-conventional
Thickest 25% chord from leading edge
-laminar
Thickest 50% chord
Symmetrical
High speed aircraft

23
Q

Airfoil terms and design

A

-platform
Shape of wing from above
-angle of incidence
Angle wing is fixed on longitudinal axis
-washout
Twist in wing at root
-stall strips
On leading edge near root
-wing fences
Prevent airflow across wing
-spoilers
Spanwise on top of airfoil to increase drag reducing lift
-speed breaks
Increase drag without reducing lift
-vortex generators
Vertical plates to re-energize boundary layer

24
Q

Slots vs slats

A

-slots
Lift device on leading edge to re-energize boundary layer
-slats
Retractable leading edge slots

25
Flaps
-increase max CL of wing -advantages Steep approach angles Better visibility over nose Improved take off performance Slower landing speeds -disadvantages Full flaps in high winds increases weather vane effect Weaken aircraft if at too high airspeed
26
Flap design
-plain flap Simple flap design to increase camber -split flap Low pressure area between wing and flap -fowler flap Combines camber change with increase in wing area and slot -zap flap Increases wing area without slot -double slotted flap Combines camber changes and slots
27
Trim tabs
Adjustable or fixed surfaces on trailing edge to relieve pilot workload
28
Stabilator
Works as both horizontal stabilizer and elevator
29
Servo/anti-servo tabs
-servo Tab on trialing edge of control surface moves opposite Eases force required by pilot to move surface -anti servo Moves in same direction Increases force required
30
Aileron drag
-when rolling -down going aileron increases lift and drag -up going decreases lift and drag -causes adverse yaw
31
Solutions to aileron drag
-fries ailerons Upgoing creates parasite drag -differential ailerons Upgoing at greater angle parasite drag
32
Balanced controls
-aerodynamic balance Extending part of control surface in opposing airflow -mass balance Place a weight in front of control surface hinge
33
Stability
-static stability Initial tendency to return -dynamic stability Overall tendency to return
34
C of G position
-forward Positive static stability Tail down force required Weight increase, stall speed increase, TAS decrease -less forward Less positive static stability Decrease in weight Stall speed decrease Range increase -aft No tail down force Neutral static Unrecoverable from stall or spin
35
Lateral stability
-dihedral Angle wing makes with horizon Aircraft will roll back to level -keel effect High wing aircraft Weight below wing and acts as pendulum to correct stability -sweepback Wing drop to create side slip
36
Directional stability
-vertical stabilizer Greater surface area after c of g -sweepback Area on upward wing creates more drag causing aircraft to go straight
37
Causes of undesired yaw
-adverse yaw -prop torque -asymmetric thrust -Gyroscopic procession -slipstream
38
Climbing definitions
-service ceiling Highest altitude where aircraft can maintain 100 rpm rate of climb -absolute ceiling Altitude where aircraft can no longer climb
39
Load factor
Load acting on wing/weight of aircraft
40
Rate and radius
-greater airspeed; greater radius, lower rate -greater bank; smaller radius, greater rate
41
Stall
-laminar flow Smooth airflow lift -turbulent flow Rough airflow no lift -transition point Where airflow changes -will stall at same IAS
42
Stall in turns
-climbing Outer wing stall first -descending Inner wing stall first
43
Gust
Rapid and irregular fluctuations of varying intensity upward and downward
44
Maneuvering speed
(Va) Max speed where full control deflection will now cause damage to aircraft
