Lesson 2 Flashcards
1
Q
wing span is measured…
A
tip to tip
2
Q
tapered wings create
A
less drag
3
Q
induced drag in incresed by
A
slow speeds
4
Q
relationship between Drag and TAS is
A
parasite increase as the square of speed
5
Q
Drag equation
A
D = Cd * A * 0.5 * r * V^2
6
Q
Realtionship between TAS and IAS at high altittudes
A
TAS is always greater
7
Q
propeller roates alont the…
A
Plane of rotation
8
Q
What is the blade angle?
A
Plane of rotation to the chord line
Helix angle + AOA
9
Q
what is stability
A
the ability of aircraft to return to original condition without assistance from pilot
More stable = less maneuverable
