1
, Question 7.
What are the three secondary control surfaces?
ANSWER
The Slats, Spoilers, and Flaps.
Question 8.
What are the purposes of Slats and Flaps?
ANSWER
To increase the camber of a wing, and increase lift at slower speeds
Question 9.
What is the purpose of spoilers?
ANSWER
To slow the aircraft and disrupt the lift of an airfoil.

bending?
ANSWER
False. (They do run the entire length) aircraft
Question 12.
What is strength?
ANSWER
The ability of a material to withstand forces, which tend to deform it in any direction, and the ability
of that material to resist stress without breaking
Question 13.
What is shear strength?
ANSWER
The point at which a materials would fail under shear force
