Module 8. Basic aerodynamics

Induced Drag is

  • never equal to profile drag.
  • equal to profile drag at Vmd.
  • equal to profile drag at stalling angle.
Jordi asking:

Can someone please tell me what is Vmd?

Module 8. Basic aerodynamics

On a high winged aircraft, what effect will the fuselage have on the up-going wing?

  • The up-going wing will have a decrease in angle of attack and therefore a decrease in lift.
  • The down-going will have a decrease in angle of attack and therefore a decrease in lift.
  • The up-going wing will have an increase in angle of attack and therefore a decrease in lift.
Jordi asking:

can someone please explain this?I thought it was c

Module 8. Basic aerodynamics

Airflow over the upper surface of the wing generally

  • flows toward the tip.
  • flows towards the root.
  • flows chordwise from leading to trailing edge.
Jordi asking:

why not towards the tip?

Module 8. Basic aerodynamics

Lift is generated by a wing

  • mostly on the bottom surface.
  • mostly on the top surface.
  • equally on both the top and bottom surfaces.
Jordi asking:

why is it mostly on the top and not on the bottom?Shouldn't it be the bottom?

Module 8. Basic aerodynamics

An anti-balance tab is used

  • to relieve hinge loads on the controls.
  • for trimming the aircraft during cruise flight.
  • to give more feel to the controls.
Jordi asking:

i dont understand should i learn it by heart?
