Accepted Answer

Increases

Answer

Does not change

Answer

Decreases

Answer

Increases, only if the landing flaps are fully extended

Question 2

Which load factor determines VA?

Accepted Answer

Manoeuvring limit load factor.

Answer

Manoeuvring flap limit load factor.

Answer

Gust load factor at 66 ft/sec gust.

Answer

Manoeuvring ultimate load factor.

Question 3

In a steady level, co-ordinated turn, the load factor n and the stalling speed VS will be:

Accepted Answer

N greater than 1, VS higher than in straight and level flight

Answer

N greater than 1, VS lower than in straight and level flight

Answer

N smaller than 1, VS lower than in straight and level flight

Answer

N smaller than 1, VS higher than in straight and level flight

Question 4

The high lift device shown in the figure below is a:

Accepted Answer

Krueger flap

Answer

Slotted flap

Answer

Fowler flap

Answer

Slot or slat

Question 5

A laminar boundary layer is a layer, in which:

Accepted Answer

No velocity components exist, normal to the surface

Answer

The temperature varies constantly

Answer

The velocity is constant

Answer

The vortices are weak

Question 6

An aeroplane maintains straight and level flight while the IAS is doubled. The change in lift coefficient will be:

Accepted Answer

X 0.25

Answer

X 4.0

Answer

X 0.5

Answer

X 2.0

Question 7

The difference between IAS and TAS will:

Accepted Answer

Decrease with decreasing altitude

Answer

Increase with decreasing temperature

Answer

Increase with increasing air density

Answer

Decrease with increasing speed

Question 8

The continuity equation states: If the area of a tube is increasing, the speed of the subsonic and incompressible flow inside is

Accepted Answer

Decreasing

Answer

Sonic

Answer

Increasing

Answer

Not changing

Question 9

The torque effect during the take-off run in respect of a right hand propeller, when viewed from behind, will tend to:

Accepted Answer

Roll the aeroplane to the left

Answer

Roll the aeroplane to the right

Answer

Pitch the aeroplane nose down

Answer

Pitch the aeroplane nose up

Question 10

In twin-engine aeroplanes with right turning propellers

Accepted Answer

The left engine is the critical motor.

Answer

The left engine produces a higher yaw moment if the right engine fails than vice versa.

Answer

The right engine is the critical motor.

Answer

The 'minimum control speed' is determined by the failure of the right engine.
