Q

What are the benefits of turbo-charging?

Select one:

1.It gives all aircraft engines more power at take-off.

2.It allows any engine to maintain power as you climb and some engines to give increased take off power.

3.It gives greater take off power, but cannot give increased power in the climb.

4.It allows a bigger cooling and lubrication system to be fitted.

A

2.It allows any engine to maintain power as you climb and some engines to give increased take off power.
