Misc question set

Question 1

How is dynamic pressure calculated?

Answer 1

Dynamic pressure is calculated as half the density multiplied by the speed squared

Question 2

How is static pressure calculated?

Answer 2

Static pressure is calculated as height multiplied by density multiplied by gravity

Question 3

Static pressure in aircraft technical manuals is denoted by?

Answer 3

Bar and measured in deca-Newtons per square centimetre

Question 4

In a pitot static system how is dynamic pressure calculated?

Answer 4

The actual static pressure is sensed directly at the static port. The static pressure line and the total pressure line are attached to a differential pressure gauge. The net pressure indicated on the gauge is the dynamic pressure. As you know, the dynamic pressure is the total pressure minus the static pressure

Question 5

What is the formula for glide ratio?

Answer 5

The glide ratio is the forward speed divided by the sink speed
