Aerodynamics Flashcards
1
Q
How to calculate standard rate turn bank angle?
A
Airspeed/10+7=bank angle
90/10+7=16°
2
Q
What affects turn radius?
A
The groundspeed and angle of bank
3
Q
Why is icing bad?
A
Increases drag significantly, increases weight, and reduces lift, especially at higher angles of attack
4
Q
Where can icing occur?
A
Structural and induction
The leading edges, thin edges are most prone
5
Q
What are the types of icing?
A
Clear - Slowly freezing large supercooled droplets, clear in color and shaped usually with horns, freezes slowly as it smears backwards over a surface
Rime - Fast freezing small supercooled droplets, opaque in color and usually rough in appearance
