* High Mach cruise speed * Stability in turbulence * Less air friction * More lateral stability ## Footnote These features make swept wings ideal for high-speed aircraft.
212
What are the disadvantages of a swept wing?
* Produces less lift compared to straight wing * Higher stall speed * Speed instability * Wing tip stalling tendency ## Footnote These drawbacks must be managed in aircraft design.
213
What is induced drag?
Drag caused by the generation of lift ## Footnote Increased aspect ratio can help reduce induced drag.
214
How does ice on the leading edge of wings affect landing distance?
Increases landing distance by 30-40% ## Footnote Ice accumulation can severely impact aircraft performance.
215
What are trailing edge flaps?
Flaps that increase lift at lower angles of deflection ## Footnote Often used to enhance takeoff and landing performance.
216
What do leading edge slots do?
Prevent/delay the separation of the airflow boundary layer and increase the coefficient of lift maximum ## Footnote These features improve low-speed handling qualities.
217
What is a service ceiling?
The height where the rate of climb drops below a prescribed value (100 feet per minute climb) ## Footnote Useful for determining operational limits of an aircraft.
218
What is an absolute ceiling?
The height at which the rate of climb drops to zero ## Footnote Also known as the coffin corner.
219
When was Wizz Air established?
September 2003 ## Footnote The airline has grown significantly since its inception.
220
What is the IATA code for Wizz Air?
W6 ## Footnote This code is used for ticketing and flight operations.
221
What is the fleet composition of Wizz Air?
* Airbus A320-232: 54 in fleet, 34 on order * Airbus A321-231: 0 in fleet, 26 on order ## Footnote The fleet is designed to maximize efficiency and passenger comfort.
222
What is the formula for drag force?
Fd = 1/2 * CD * ρ * v^2 * S ## Footnote Where Fd is drag force, CD is the coefficient of drag, ρ is the fluid density, v is speed, and S is the reference area.
223
What is the effect of a boundary layer fence on a swept wing?
Improves low-speed characteristics ## Footnote This design feature helps maintain lift at lower speeds.
224
What is the relationship between direct proportions?
Earnings = Constant * hours ## Footnote More hours worked results in higher earnings.
225
What is the method for solving inverse proportions?
If 4 workers can paint a fence in 3 hours, 6 workers will take 2 hours ## Footnote This demonstrates the inverse relationship between workers and time.
226
What is the sum of all angles in a triangle?
180 degrees ## Footnote This is a fundamental property of triangles in Euclidean geometry.
227
What is the first step in rearranging the equation ax + b = c?
Isolate ax by subtracting b from both sides ## Footnote The equation becomes ax = c - b.
228
What does the equation bx(c + 5) = f rearrange to?
bcx = f - 5b ## Footnote This isolates the variable x.
229
List all prime numbers up to 100.
* 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 * 17 * 19 * 23 * 29 * 31 * 37 * 41 * 43 * 47 * 53 * 59 * 61 * 67 * 71 * 73 * 79 * 83 * 89 * 97
