Module 11. Aeroplane aerodynamics, structures and systems
During flap down selection in a continuous straight and level flight at constant IAS and weight • the lift coefficient and the drag coefficient increase. • the stall speed increases. • the centre of pressure moves aft, lift coefficient and the drag coefficient increase.
matth asking: • Center of pressure moves AFT but LIFT COEFFICENT AND DRAG INCREASE TOO

If a redundant structure fails it becomes • fatigued • safe-life • failsafe
matth asking: • The answer is FAILSAFE due to if a structure fail other structure (redundant) carry the load.
Safe life depend on LIFE of component. After FH or FC must be replaced... means that the component must be replaced BEFORE FAIL

To ensure that a wing stalls at the root first, stall wedges are • installed on the wing leading edge at the wing tip. • installed on the wing leading edge at the wing root. • installed at the wing trailing edge at the wing root.
matth asking: • Stall Wedges are installed at the wing ROOT LEADING EDGE PLS CORRECT
