Question 27

are the most common high-lift devices
used on aircraft.

Answer 27

Flaps

Question 28

are purely drag devices

Answer 28

Speedbrakes

Question 29

Answer 29

slats

Question 30

Importance of flaps:

Answer 30

-Shorter takeoff roll
-Slower landing speeds
-Steeper descent path
-Better view of the runway on approach
-Lowering the flaps will decrease the stalling speed of the airplane

Question 31

Aircraft are designed to be as aerodynamically “clean” as possible and drag is minimized as much as
practical to improve performance and decrease fuel
consumption. A side effect of this aerodynamic success is that, even at idle thrust, an aircraft does
not tend to slow down quickly, especially when descending.

Answer 31

Spoilers and Speedbrakes

Question 32

simultaneously increase drag and reduce lift.

Answer 32

Spoilers

Question 33

What are the 6 types of flaps:

Answer 33

Basic Section, Plain flap, Split flap, Slotted flap, fowler flap, Slotted fowler flap.

Question 34

Phenomenon that reduces induced drag when the airplane is within 1 wingspan of the ground

Answer 34

Ground Effect

Question 35

– Stability around the vertical axis

Answer 35

Directional Stability

Question 36

Reduces the stick forces or control force so that
the pilot can maintain any yaw, pitch or roll without
further control unit.

Answer 36

Trim tabs

Question 37

Aircraft are designed to be as aerodynamically “____” as possible and drag is minimized as much as
practical to improve performance and decrease fuel
consumption.

Answer 37

clean

Question 38

Is the natural ability of the airplane to recover
from a disturbance in rolling without pilot input

Answer 38
