What states in part that the internal pressure of a fluid (liquid or gas) decreases at points where the speed of the fluid increases?
Bernoullis principle
271
How does Bernoullis principle apply to an airplane wing?
A wing is designed with curve or camber. When air flows along the upper wing surface, it travels a greater distance in the same period of time (faster) than the lower wing surface. Thus the pressure is less above than below and lift is generated.
272
What imaginary point is the sum of all lift forces?
Center of lift, or the center of pressure
273
What is the imaginary point of balance?
Center of gravity
274
What is the rearward force resulting from the forward movement of the airplane?
Drag
275
What is the undesirable but avoidable by-product of lift?

276
What happens to induced drag as the angle of attack is increased?
Induced drag increases as well as the negative pressure on top of the wing increases.
277
How is induced drag varied with speed?
Induced drag varies inversely as the square of the airspeed. Reducing airspeed by half, (120 to 60) increases the induced drag by four times
278
What is the resistance of the air as the airplane passes through it?
Parasite drag
279
How is parasitic drag affected by speed
As the speed increases, the amount of parasite drag increases as the square of the velocity. Speed doubles, parasite drag is four times greater.

Briefly describe the engine of the BE300
The PT6A-60A is a reverse flow, free turbine type that uses two independent turbine sections
292

- Three stage axial flow compressor
| - One centrifugal compressor driven by a single turbine wheel
293
What is included in the power section of the engine?
- The reduction gearbox which drives the propeller
| - Reduction gear box is powered by two turbine wheels
294
What is the total amount of turbine wheels in the PT6A-60?
Three
295
Describe the operational flow of the engine
-As air enters the engine, it is compressed and heated
in the compressor section
-then it is mixed with fuel and
ignited in the combustion chamber
-The exhaust from
the combustion chamber, now at a high velocity and
temperature, passes over the turbine wheels which
extract energy from the exhaust, which is used to turn
the compressors and the propeller
-After passing the
last turbine wheel, the exhaust is collected, routed
into the exhaust duct assembly and directed to the
atmosphere by twin opposed exhaust stacks
296

There is no direct connection between the compressor and power section
297

- Pressurized oil sent to lubricate bushing, bearings / also sent to prop governor and the accessory section for oil temp and pressure sensors
- Returned to the tank by two scavenge pumps
300
What does moving the power levers into Beta change?
Only the blade angle, does not change N1
301
What happens when the power levers are moved past beta into the reverse range?
- propeller blades change to reverse pitch angles
| - control linkage from the cambox to the fuel control unit increases N1 the farther back the levers are pulled
