- The aircraft is in a glide. The pilot decides to slow down. Once again in equilibrium at the new, lower speed, the aircraft’s _______ will be _______ .
- Attitude; more nose-up
- Angle of Attack; smaller
- Angle of Attack; larger
- a) and c)
- Angle of Attack could be defined as the angle between:
- The wing and the oncoming air
- The effective wing chord and the flow direction at the leading edge
- Where the airplane is pointing and where it is going
- Any of the above
- A body that is described as ballistic is:
- in equilibrium and weightless
- in orbit and weightless
- accelerating toward the center of the earth at zero G’s
- accelerating toward the center of the earth at 1 G
- The aircraft weighs 3000 pounds at takeoff. Its stalling speed is 100 knots. The pilot weighs 160 pounds. Holding altitude in a co-ordinated turn at 60° bank, the Load Factor is _______ , the wing is producing ________ pounds of lift, the stalling speed is _________ knots, and the pilot feels like he weighs _________ pounds.
- 2, 4140; 141; 414
- 1.4, 6000; 200; 320
- 2, 6000; 141, 320
- 1.4, 3000, 100, 226
- The airplane wing can be said to be stalled only at:
- A speed slower than the stalling speed.
- A high nose-up attitude
- An Angle of Attack greater than the critical angle
- A Load Factor of zero
- At the maneuvering speed, VA, an airplane encountering vertical gusts will:
- Stall before structural damage occurs
- Experience high G loadings
- Experience strong turbulence
- All of the above
Fifty years is not enough
