26
Q

AIRFOIL

A

AN OBJECT THAT PRODUCES AN AERODYNAMIC FORCE WHEN MOVED THROUGH A FLUID

27
Q

AIRFOIL IS USED TO PRODUCE

A

LIFT

28
Q

AIRFOIL IS DEFINIED BY

A

LEADING EDGE, TRAILING EDGE, AND CAMBER

29
Q

LINE FROM LEADING EDGE AND TRAILING EDGE

A

CHORD

30
Q

DIRECTION OF FLIGHT IS OPPOSED BY

A

RELATIVE WIND

31
Q

RELATIVE WIND IS ALWAYS

A

OPPOSITE OF THE DIRECTION OF FLIGHT

32
Q

HOW IS LIFT PRODUCED?

A

AIRFLOW UNDER AND OVER THE WING

33
Q

WEIGHT IS

A

CONSTANT

34
Q

ANGLE OF ATTACK

A

THE ANGLE FORMED BY THE WING’S CHORD LINE AND THE RELATIVE WIND

35
Q

POSITIVE ANGLE OF ATTACK IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE

A

LIFT

36
Q

ATTACHED AIRFLOW

A
36
Q

ATTACHED AIRFLOW

A

AIR FOLLOWS THE SURFACE OF THE AIRFOIL UNDER AND OVER AND LIFT IS PRODUCED

37
Q

IN CRUISE FLIGHT THERE IS

A

RELATIVELY LOW ANGLE OF ATTACK

38
Q

INCREASING ANGLE OF ATTACK INCREASES

A

LIFT

39
Q

CRITICAL ANGLE OF ATTACK

A

THE FARTHEST THE ANGLE OF ATTACK CAN GO BEFORE IT STALLS

40
Q

STALL

A

ABRUPT LOSS OF LIFT. OCCURS WHEN THE CRITICAL ANGLE OF ATTACK IS EXCEEDED

41
Q

ANGLE OF ATTACK

A

THE ANGLE DESCRIBED BY THE RELATIVE WIND AND THE WING’S CHORD LINE

42
Q

BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE

A

WHEN THE SPEED OF A FLUID IS INCREASES ITS PRESSURE DECREASES

43
Q

AS A DENSITY OF A FLUID DECREASES (IT’S THINNING OUT)

A

SO DOES IT’S PRESSURE

44
Q

AIRFLOW MOLECULES GO FASTER OVER THE CAMBER, WHICH PRODUCES A ___ ____ _____

A

LOW AIR PRESSURE

45
Q

UNDER THE WING, THERE IS A _____ AIR PRESSURE

A

HIGHER

46
Q

FLUIDS MOVE FROM AREA’S OF ____ PRESSURE TO AREAS OF _____ PRESSURE

A

HIGH, LOW

47
Q

NEWTONS THIRD LAW OF MOTION

A

FORCES BETWEEN TWO OBJECTS EXIST IN EQUAL MAGNITUDE AND IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS (EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL AN OPPOSITE REACTION)

48
Q

AIR MOLECULES FLOWING UNDER THE WING ARE DEFLECTED DOWN, AND

A

PUSH UP THE WING BECAUSE OF NEWTONS LAW

49
Q

PROPELLER EQUALS

A

AIRFOIL

50
Q

LOAD FACTOR

A

AMOUNT OF FORCE IMPOSED ON AN AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE BASED ON THE amount of LIFT BEING PRODUCED. MEASURED IN G’s

51
Q

LOAD FACTOR MAY INCREASE

A

ANYTIME THE AIRCRAFT IS SUBJECTED TO MANEUVERS OTHER THAN STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLIGHT

52
Q

IN STRAIGHT AND LEVEL, UNNACELERATED FLIGHT, THE LOAD FACTOR IS

A

1

53
Q

TO MAINTAIN A LOAD FACTOR OF 1 IN A 30 DEGREE BANK, THE AIRCRAFT MUST BE….

A

DESCENDING

54
Q

WHICH BASIC FLIGHT MANEUVER INCREASES THE LOAD FACTOR ON AN AIRPLANE AS COMPARED TO STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLIGHT

A

TURNS

55
Q

THE AMOUNT OF EXCESS LOAD THAT CAN BE IMPOSED ON THE WING OF AN AIRPLANE DEPENDS UPON THE

A

SPEED OF THE AIRCRAFT

56
Q

WHEN LOAD FACTOR INCREASES

A

STALL SPEED INCREASES

57
Q

WHEN ARE THE FOUR FORCES THAT ACT ON AN AIRPLANE IN EQUILIBRIUM?

A

DURING UNACCELERATED FLIGHT

57
Q

WHEN ARE THE FOUR FORCES THAT ACT ON AN AIRPLANE IN EQUILIBRIUM?

A

DURING UNACCELERATED FLIGHT

58
Q

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP OF LIFT, DRAG, THRUST, AND WEIGHT WHEN THE AIRPLANE IS IN STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLIGHT?

A

LIFT EQUALS WEIGHT, THRUST EQUALS DRAG
