SU1: Airplanes and Aeordynamics

Question 1

An airplane said to be inherently stable will

Answer 1

require less effort to control.

(FAA-H-8083-25B Chap 5) ( ? )
An inherently stable airplane will usually return to the original condition of flight (except when in a bank) if disturbed by a force such as air turbulence. Thus, an inherently stable airplane will require less effort to control than an inherently unstable one.

Question 2

During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the aircraft to

Answer 2

stall at a higher airspeed.

(FAA-H-8083-25B Chap 5) ( ? )
The greater the load (whether from gross weight or from centrifugal force), the more lift is required. Therefore, an aircraft will stall at higher airspeeds when the load and/or load factor is increased.
