Module 8. Basic aerodynamics

The power required at low altitude for a given IAS is

  • unchanged with altitude.
  • higher.
  • lower.
kspyroglou asking:

How is that possible? The air is more dense, therefore the drag is increased, thus the thrust (power) should be increased

Module 8. Basic aerodynamics

The vertical fin of a single engined aircraft is

  • parallel with both the longitudinal axis and vertical axis.
  • parallel with the longitudinal axis but not the vertical axis.
  • parallel with the vertical axis but not the longitudinal axis.
kspyroglou asking:

Can someone explain?

Module 13. Aircraft aerodynamics, structures and systems

An aircraft receives a response from a DME station, 1236 microseconds after transmitting the interrogation. What is the slant range to the station?

  • 104 nautical miles
  • 100 nautical miles
  • 96 nautical miles
huly asking:

My math says 100NM. Am I wrong?

Module 8. Basic aerodynamics

Longitudinal dihedral (decalage) is:

  • The angle of sweepback between the wing leading edge and a line perpendicular to the fuselage centreline
  • The upward angle of the wings relative to the horizontal, which provides lateral roll stability in a sideslip
  • The difference in angle of incidence between the wing and the tailplane — it contributes to longitudinal stability
kspyroglou asking:

Please explain. Thank you

Module 8. Basic aerodynamics

Under what conditions will an aircraft create best lift?

  • Hot damp day at 1200 ft.
  • Cold dry day at 200 ft.
  • Cold wet day at 1200 ft.
Elia asking:

why not the first
