Anti-Gravity
Pregunta 3
Pregunta
When making an approach to a runway, the pilot uses the Flaps. Their purpose is to:
Respuesta
Prevent the aircraft from crashing
Provide additional Lift at a lower speed
lower the speed of the aircraft
Decrease the pitch of the aircraft

Drag, Gravity, Thrust and Lift
Thrust, Speed, weight and drag
Gravity, Thrust, Airflow and angle of attack
Pregunta 5
Pregunta
An airfoil has the following characteristics:
Respuesta
It's upper surface is shorter than its lower surface
It's upper and lower surfaces are the same length
Its lower surface is shorter than its upper surface
All of the above are incorrect; The upper and lower surfaces are flat
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
The chordline of an airfoil runs from wing tip to wing root
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
Which answer is true?
Respuesta
An airfoil develops lift because the airflow over the upper surface travels faster than the airflow over the lower surface. This creates a low pressure area at the top of the wing and a low pressure area at the bottom of the wing. This causes the wing to move from high pressure to low pressure.
The manufactured angle of attack for the wing causes more of the bottom surface of the wing to be exposed to the airflow. This tends to push the wing in an upward direction
Both answers are true
Neither answer is true
