By changing the angle of attack of a wing, the pilot can control the airplane'slift, airspeed, and drag
An aircraft airfoil is designed to produce lift resulting from a difference in thehigher air pressure below the airfoil's surface and lower air pressure above the airfoil's surface In theory, if the angle of attack and other factors remain constant and the airspeed isdoubled, the lift produced at the higher speed will be four times greater than at the lower speed Which statement is true, regarding the opposing forces acting on an airplane insteady-state level flight? These forces are equal To generate the same amount of lift as altitude is increased, an airplane must be flownat a higher true airspeed for any given angle of attack What changes in airplane longitudinal control must be made to maintain altitude while
the airspeed is being decreased?Increase the angle of attack to compensate for the decreasing lift.
In theory, if the airspeed of an airplane is doubled while in level flight, parasite drag willbecome four times greater In theory, if the airspeed of an aircraft is cut in half while in level flight, parasite drag willbecome one-fourth as much As airspeed decreases in level flight below that speed for maximum lift/drag ratio, totaldrag of an airplane increases because of increased induced drag To hold an airplane in level flight at airspeeds from very slow to very fast, a pilot mustcoordinate thrust and Angle of Attack Lift on a wing is most properly defined as theforce acting perpendicular to the relative wind.
An aircraft wing is designed to produce lift resulting from a difference in the
If an airplane glides at an angle of attack of 10 degrees, how much altitude will it lose in1 mile 480 feet How much altitude will this airplane lose in 3 miles of gliding at an angle of attack of 81,320 feet
What performance is characteristic of flight at maximum lift/drag ratio in apropeller-driven airplane ?Maximum range and maximum distance glide The L/D ratio at a 2 degree angle of attack is approximately the same as the L/D ratio fora 16.5 angle of attack The horizontal dashed line from point C to point E represents thepositive limit load factor
The vertical from point E to point F is represented on the airspeed indicator byUpper limit of the yellow arc
What does the intersection of the dashed line at point C represent ?Va
In small airplanes, normal recovery from spins may become difficult if theCG is too far rearward and rotation is around the CG
A sweptwing airplane with weak static directional stability and increased dihedralcauses an increase in Dutch roll tendency If an airplane is loaded to the rear of its CG range, it will tend to be unstable about itslateral axis
An airplane will stall at the sameangle of attack regardless of the attitude with relation to the horizon.
If the airplane attitude initially tends to return to its original position after the elevatorcontrol is pressed forward and released, the airplane displays positive static stability If the airplane attitude remains in a new position after the elevator control is pressed
aircraft will need toincrease
For a given angle of bank, in any airplane, the load factor imposed in a coordinatedconstant-altitude turn constant and the stall speed increases Airplane wing loading during a level coordinated turn in smooth air depends upon theangle of bank
If the airspeed is increased from 90 knots to 135 knots during a level 60° banked turn,the load factor will remain the same but the radius of turn will increase A load factor of 1.2 means the total load on an aircraft's structure is 1.2 times itsgross weight
Select the correct statement regarding stall speedsPower-on stalls occur at lower airspeeds in shallower banks
Select the correct statement regarding stall speeds. The airplane will stall10 knots higher in a power-on 60 bank with gear and flaps up than with gear and flaps
down If the airspeed is decreased from 98 knots to 85 knots during a coordinated level 45banked turn, the load factor will remain the same, but the radius of turn will decrease If the airspeed is increased from 90 knots to 135 knots during a level 60° banked turn,the load factor will remain the same, but the radius of turn will increase What is the stall speed of an airplane under a load factor of 2 Gs if the unacceleratedstall speed is 60 knots 84 knots What is the stall speed of an airplane under a load factor of 2.5 G's if the unacceleratedstall speed is 60 knots 96 knots To increase the rate of turn and at the same time decrease the radius, a pilot shouldincrease the bank and decrease airspeed
As the angle of bank is increased, the vertical component of liftdecreases and the horizontal component of lift increases
(Refer to Figure 4) If an aircraft with a gross weight of 2,000 pounds was subjected to a60 degree constant altitude bank, the total load would be? 4,000 pounds While maintaining a constant angle of bank and altitude in a coordinated turn, anincrease in airspeed will decrease the rate of turn resulting in no change in load factor While holding the angle of bank constant in a level turn, if the rate of turn is varied theload factor would remain constant regardless of air density and the resultant lift vector (Refer to Figure 4) What increase in load factor would take place if the angle of bankwere increased from 60 degrees to 80. degrees 4 GS If an airplane category is listed us utility, it would mean that this airplane could beoperated in which of the following maneuvers? Limited acrobatics, including spins (if approved) Stall speed is affected byA. Weight, load factor, and power.
The stalling speed of an airplane is most affected byvariations in airplane loading
Recovery from a stall in any airplane becomes more difficult when itscenter of gravity moves aft
The need to slow an aircraft below VA is brought about by the following weatherphenomenon: Turbulence which causes an increase in stall speed The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls remains constant regardless ofweight, dynamic pressure, bank angle, or pitch attitude
One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is toprovide the same amount go lift at a slower airspeed
A rectangular wing, as compared to other wing planforms, has a tendency to stall first atthe wing root, with the stall progression toward the wing tip A propeller rotating clockwise as seen from the rear, creates a spiraling slipstream. Thespiraling slipstream, along with torque effect, tends to rotate the airplane to the
When landing behind a large, which procedure should be followed for vortex avoidanceStay above its final approach flightpath all the way to touchdown
Which is true with respect to vortex circulation in the wake turbulence generated by anaircraft? The vortex strength is greater when the generating aircraft is heavy, clean, and slow
