chapter 3 section B

Question 1

in relation to the center of gravity in which direction would the center of pressure normally move as angle of attack is increased on a camber wing?

Answer 1

forward

Question 2

what factors can affect the longitudinal stability of an airplane at high power settings and low airspeed?

Answer 2

some factors that affect longitudinal stability are increasing the thrust and nose heaviness due to the placement of the thrust line being above the CG.

Question 3

does the propwash resulting from high power setting increase or decrease the contribution of wing dihedral to the lateral stability of an airplane?

Answer 3

decreases

Question 4

an aircraft with strong directional control and weak lateral stability is prone to what type of undesirable side effect?

Answer 4

spiral instability

Question 5

when landing in gusty winds airspeed should be increased above normal to help against stall? true/false

Answer 5

true
