Question 1

Question
What causes ground effect?
Answer
  • Interference between the airflow pattern of the airfoil and the ground.
  • Reduce slipstream near the ground.
  • Magic.

Question 2

Question
Drag is a rearward, retarding force, and is caused by
Answer
  • Disruption of airflow by the wing, fuselage, and other protruding objects.
  • Force that is applied to the tail
  • Gravity

Question 3

Question
Camber of an airfoil is
Answer
  • Angle between the chord line and relative wind.
  • The characteristic curve of its upper and lower surfaces.
  • The characteristic that an airfoil have.

Question 4

Question
What is load factor ?
Answer
  • Is the ratio of the load supported by the airplane's wing.
  • Is just a feeling of the pilot while he is maneuver.
  • Is the maximum gross weight of the aircraft.

Question 5

Question
What is ground effect ?
Answer
  • Is the interference of the ground surface with landing gear.
  • Is the interference of the ground surface with airflow pattern about aircraft in flight.
  • Is just a feeling of the pilot while he is landing.

Question 6

Question
Thrust is ...
Answer
  • Rearward force.
  • Forward force.
  • Upward force.

Question 7

Question
Lift is the ...
Answer
  • Upward force.
  • Downward force.
  • Rearward force.

Question 8

Question
Does the parasite drag increases as airspeed increases ?
Answer
  • Need more information.
  • Yes,
  • No.

Question 9

Question
Why is called parasite drag?
Answer
  • Because it helps for landing.
  • Because it helps to improve performance.
  • Because it in no way functions to aid flight.

Question 10

Question
Newton’s Third Law is ...
Answer
  • “For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.”
  • “As velocity increase, pressure decrease”
  • “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

Question 11

Question
How the pilot control lift ?
Answer
  • Nose down and speed.
  • Angle of attack and speed.
  • Angle of incidence and more horsepower.

Question 12

Question
What is the function of the trim ?
Answer
  • Control lift.
  • Reduce control pressures.
  • Reduce the friction between the surface and the air.

Question 13

Question
Lift is
Answer
  • Downward force.
  • Rearward force.
  • Upward force.

Question 14

Question
The motion around the longitudinal axis is ...
Answer
  • Yaw.
  • Roll.
  • Pitch.

Question 15

Question
An aircraft moves in which axes?
Answer

  • The longitudinal, The lateral, The dimensional.
  • The longitudinal, The lateral, The vertical

Question 16

Question
What is Center of Gravity?
Answer
  • An imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes.
  • The point at which an airplane would balance if suspended.
  • Difference between takeoff weight,and basic empty weight.

Question 17

Question
The motion around the lateral axis is ...
Answer
  • Pitch.

Answer
  • False.
  • True.
  • Center of pressure and center of gravity are the same thing.
