UNIT 1: INTRODUCTION TO
AEROSPACE EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS. A+ GRADE
2025/2026.
Aerospace Engineer - ANS Develops new technologies for use in aviation, defense systems,
and space exploration, often specializing in areas such as structural design, guidance, navigation
and control, instrumentation and communication, and production methods.
Aircraft - ANS A device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air.
ATC - ANS Air Traffic Control, A system is to prevent a collision between aircraft operating in
the system and to organize and expedite the flow of traffic, and to provide support for National
Security and Homeland Defense.
FAA - ANS Federal Aviation Administration. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is an
operating mode of the Department of Transportation responsible for the safety of civil aviation.
NASA - ANS National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The United States government
agency that is responsible for science and technology related to air and space.

, NACA - ANS National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. From March 3, 1915 until October
1, 1958, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) provided advice and carried
out much of the cutting-edge research in aeronautics in the United States.
Aileron - ANS Small-hinged sections on the outboard portion of a wing that are used to
generate a rolling motion for an aircraft.
Airfoil - ANS Any surface, such as a wing, which provides aerodynamic force when it interacts
with a moving stream of air.
Angle of Attack - ANS The angle formed by the wing chord line and the relative wind.
Aspect Ratio - ANS The relationship between the length and width of a wing.
Boundary Layer - ANS A thin layer of air next to the surface of an airfoil which shows a
reduction in speed due to the air's viscosity.
Center of Gravity - ANS The common reference point for the three axes of the aircraft.
Cockpit - ANS The space in the fuselage of a small airplane containing seats for the pilot,
copilot, and sometimes passengers.
Controllability - ANS The capability of an aircraft to respond to your flight inputs, especially
with regard to attitude and flight path.
Dihedral - ANS The mounting of wings so that the wingtips and higher than the wingroot.
Drag - ANS Acts in the opposite direction of flight, opposes the forward acting force of thrust,
and limits the forward speed of the aircraft.
