aerodynamic forces

Question 1

during a spin to the left which wing is/are stalled

Answer 1

both wings are stalled

Question 2

the amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the

Answer 2

speed of the airplane

Question 3

which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared to straight and level flight

Answer 3

turns

Question 4

if an airplane weighs 3,300 pounds what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 30 degree banked turn while maintaining altitude
(load factor for 30 degree is 1.154)

Answer 4

3,300 x 1.154 =3,808.2

Question 5

changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft’s

Answer 5

aerodynamic balance and controllability

Question 6

which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared to straight and level flight

Answer 6

turns

Question 7

a positive load factor of 2 at 80 mph would cause the airplane to

Answer 7

stall

Question 8

the amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the

Answer 8

speed of the airplane

Question 9

what is the effect of advancing the throttle in flight

Answer 9

both aircraft ground sped and angle of attack will increase

Question 10

during an approach to a stall an increase load factor will cause the aircraft to

Answer 10

stall at a high airspeed

Question 11

what force makes an airplane turn

Answer 11

the horizontal component of lift

Question 12

four flight fundamentals involved in maneuvering an aircraft

Answer 12

straight and level flight turns climbs and descents

Question 13

if an airplane weighs 2,300 pounds what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 60 degree banked turn while maintaining altitude

Answer 13

4600 pounds

Question 14

during a spin to the left which wing is/are stalled

Answer 14

both wings are stalled

Question 15

in what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin

Answer 15

stalled

Question 16

why is frost considered hazardous to flight

Answer 16

frost spoils the smooth flow of air over the wings thereby decreasing lifting capabilities

Question 17

what determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane

Answer 17

the location of the CG with respect to the center of lift

Question 18

the what flight condition are torque effects more pronounced in a single engine airplane

Answer 18

low airspeed high power high angle of attack

Question 19

the left turning tendency of an airplane caused by p factor is the result of the

Answer 19

propeller blade descending on the right producing more thrust than the ascending blade on the left
