AQT STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE ANSWERS 2024/2025 | VERIFIED
landing gear - ✔️✔️Consists of the main gear and the nose gear. The main gear is located under the
wings and includes wheels, brakes and struts. The nose gear is located under the nose of the aircraft and
includes struts and wheels.
Engine - ✔️✔️Creates thrust
Fuselage - ✔️✔️the main body of an aircraft
Wing - ✔️✔️The major horizontal surface on an airplane that provides lift.
Aileron - ✔️✔️The controlling surface that regulates an aircraft's roll/lateral movement
Flaps - ✔️✔️Increase lift and drag
wing tip - ✔️✔️Outboard most part of the wing
Red - ✔️✔️Left wing light color
Green - ✔️✔️Right wing light color
Spoilers - ✔️✔️devices located on the wings that disrupt the airflow over the wing causing loss of lift
Slats - ✔️✔️Protrusions from the leading edge of a wing that, when combined with the flaps, result in a
significant increase in lift.
Primary Flight Controls - ✔️✔️Ailerons, Rudder, Elevator
Secondary Flight Controls - ✔️✔️Flaps, leading edge devices, spoilers and trim devices
, Horizontal Stabilizer - ✔️✔️An airfoil (usually at the back of an airplane) that resists up and down
changes in motion.
Vertical Stabilizer - ✔️✔️A structure that creates left to right forces to keep the fuselage aligned in yaw
with the relative wind. The structure itself is vertical while the forces it creates are horizontal.
Rudder - ✔️✔️A controlling surface on an aircraft's tail that regulates yaw.
elevator - ✔️✔️A rear horizontal stabilizer that controls up and down or pitching motion of the aircraft
nose.
Empennage - ✔️✔️The tail assembly of an aircraft, including the horizontal and vertical stabilizers,
elevators, and rudder.
What curve does the standard wing have? - ✔️✔️Upper curve
Flight Envelope - ✔️✔️Encompasses the limits of speed, altitude, and angle of attack required by any
aircraft to maintain a stable flight.
Stalling speed - ✔️✔️The minimum speed at which an aircraft can maintain level flight
Gravity - ✔️✔️A force that pulls everything towards the earth at 9.8 m/s^2
Lift - ✔️✔️An upward force created by the wing of the aircraft
Bernoulli's Principle - ✔️✔️The air traveling over the top of the wing is faster than the air traveling
under the wing, creating lower pressure above the wing, causing lift
Drag - ✔️✔️Resistance of the air (technically a fluid) against the forward movement of an airplane.
Thrust - ✔️✔️the pushing or pulling force exerted by the engine of an aircraft or rocket
landing gear - ✔️✔️Consists of the main gear and the nose gear. The main gear is located under the
wings and includes wheels, brakes and struts. The nose gear is located under the nose of the aircraft and
includes struts and wheels.
