The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are? - Correct Answers -Lift, weight, thrust
and drag
When are the four forces acting in equalibrium? - Correct Answers -During
unaccelerated flight
Attack - Correct Answers -The acute angle A is the angle of...
The term angle of attack is defined as the angle between the - Correct Answers -Chord
line of the wing and the relative wind.
What is the relationship between lift, drag thrust and weight? - Correct Answers -
Lift=weight and thrust=drag
In what flight condition must an airplane be placed in in order to spin? - Correct Answers
-Stalled.
During a spin to the left which wing is stalled? - Correct Answers -Both wings are
stalled.
What what flight condition is torque effect the greatest in a single engine airplane? -
Correct Answers -Low speed, high power, high angle of attack.
The left turning tendency of an airplane caused by the P-factor is the result of the... -
Correct Answers -Propellor blade descending on the right, producing more thrust than
the ascending blade on the left.
When does the P- factor cause the plane to yaw to the left? - Correct Answers -At high
angles of attack.
