Lift, Angle of Attack, Stalls Flashcards
1
Q
Bernoulli’s Principle is:
A
that air traveling faster over the curved upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface
2
Q
Angle of Attack defined:
A
it is the angle between the wing chord line and the relative wind
3
Q
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls, remains the same regardless of:
A
gross weight
4
Q
As the altitude increases the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a particular configuration will:
A
remain the same regardless of altitude
5
Q
In order to spin, an airplane must be:
A
stalled
6
Q
During a spin to the LEFT, which wings are stalled?
A
Both
7
Q
The term “Angle of Attack” is defined as:
A
the angle between the Chord Line of the Wing and the Relative Wind.
