21
Q

What shifts the aircraft CG?

A

Fuel burn, gear and flap movement

22
Q

Force divergent mach number

A

where the coefficient of drag and total drag increase rapidly due to wave drag; FIRST SHOCKWAVE

23
Q

Disadvantage of swept wing

A

High AOA stall decreased coefficient of lift

24
Q

Mach number (definition)

A

TAS with respect to local speed of sound

25
Q

The airspeed/AOA for (blank), (blank) and (blank) are found at L/D max

A

Max endurance, max climb angle, and max power off glide range

26
Q

Thrust is (blank) on longitudinal stability

A

Neutral

27
Q

Area rule

A

Not a T-45 design

28
Q

What reduces rudder “buzz”?

A

Rudder shock stabilization strips

29
Q

Vortex generators

A

improve stability, performance and/or flight control effectiveness. Forces wing downwash further below the stab, eliminating pitch up tendencies. Improves slow speed flight by redirecting wing airflow and re-energizing the boundary layer

30
Q

Stall strips

A

cause root to stall at lower AOA by inducing premature boundary layer separation

31
Q

Force to overcome rudder blowout?

A

greater than 250lbs

32
Q

Uncontrollable pitch up happens when?

A

AC moves in front of CG at stall (tip stall)

33
Q

Q

A

airmass flow in slugs per second

34
Q

Critical mach number (definition)

A

the free stream mach number at which a local mach number of 1.0 is attained at any point on the body under consideration (first hit supersonic flow)

35
Q

Dutch roll

A

low airspeed (below 220 knots), strong lateral, weak directional

36
Q

Nose pitch up 20 degrees

A

accelerated stall w/no external stores, second indication of impending stall

37
Q

Crosswind tendencies?

A

Nose will turn away from the crosswind

38
Q

Stall warning at 1/2 flaps

A

21.5 units

39
Q

Rudder opposite for which type of spins?

A

BOTH

40
Q

Inverted spin characterized by?

A

0 AOA, Neg Gs, Turn needle in the direction of spin

41
Q

Critical mach number? (for the T45)

A

0.8; slight nose down pitch

42
Q

CG forward

A

increases stability

43
Q

Thrust is neutral with respect to…?

A

longitudinal stability

44
Q

Aileron position for INVERTED spin recovery

A

away from turn needle

45
Q

Aileron position for UPRIGHT spin recovery

A

into the turn needle

46
Q

Force divergent mach number for T45?

A

0.85

47
Q

Approach configuration stall buffet happens when?

A

1 knot above stall speed

48
Q

High speed and low speed characteristics improved by?

A

Vortex generators

49
Q

How does the T45 react to flap extension?

A

Balloon, settle, reduced stability

50
Q

1100, 150, 10500 calm

A

300 220 80 500
