1
Q
What does L/W coupling cause?
A
Nose down pitch
2
Q
What does D/T coupling cause?
A
Nose up pitch
3
Q
What is the formula for glide range?
A
Glide range = (Height x L/D) / 6080
4
Q
What type of aircraft does Vx
A
Propeller
5
Q
What type of aircraft does Vx=Vmd
A
Turbojet
6
Q
How do you calculate rate of Descent?
A
VsinØ(theta)
V needs to be in M/S
7
Q
What is SinY when climbing?
A
T-D / W
8
Q
What is Vmp?
A
The max endurance for an aircraft.
9
Q
What is SinY when descending?
A
D-T/W
10
Q
What is Vmd?
A
It is max distance for glide.
11
Q
What is formula for Thrust when climbing?
A
Thrust = D + WsinY
12
Q
What is formula for Drag when descending?
A
Drag = T + WsinY
13
Q
What is formula for Lift in terms of SOHCAHTOA?
A
Lift = WcosY
