Frictional drag Study guides, Revision notes & Summaries

SIFT Test Army Aviation InformationHelicopter structure - correct answer fuselage (body of aircraft), mast, rotor blades engine drives power up through mast to rotor blades main rotor generates thrust, tail rotor counteracts torque main rotor rotates counterclockwise (US, UK, Ger.) advantages of rotorcraft - correct answer rotor blades (produce lift w/o requiring helicopter to move forward) provide the ability to takeoff vertically, hover in one place, and take off/land in places tha...

SIFT (Army Aviation)Profile drag - correct answer Caused by the blades frictional resistance Induced drag - correct answer Downwash Parasite drag - correct answer Components attached to a helicopter that dont contribute to lift Total drag - correct answer Sum of profile, induced, and parasite drag. Bernoullis principle - correct answer As flow increases, pressure decreases Phases of flight - correct answer Takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, landing. Flat and curved side pressure ...

SIFT - Army Aviation Written Exam 2024. Types of drag - correct answer Parasitic Profile Induced Parasitic drag - correct answer caused by the non-lifting portions of the helicopter (fuselage, engine, cowlings, hub, mast, landing gear, external loads) increases with airspeed, dominant type of drag at high airspeeds Profile drag - correct answer caused by frictional resistance of the lift-producing surfaces (rotor blades) passing through the air remains constant throughout speeds ...

MTTC Integrated Science - Earth & SpacTheory of Plate Tectonics - ANSWER A theory stating that Earth's lithosphere is broken into huge plates that move and change in size over time - explains the process of continental drift - theory is a fusion on the theories of continental drift and seafloor spreading - continents are not floating on the ocean, rather they are rooted What are the 10 major plates of the Earth's lithosphere? - ANSWER African, Antarctic, Australian, Eurasian, North Ameri...

SIFT - Army AviationThree types of Rotor Systems - correct answer 1. Semirigid - composed of two blades that are rigidly mounted to the main rotor hub 2. Rigid - the blade roots are rigidly attached to the rotor hub 3. Fully articulated - allow each blade to lead/lag (move back and forth in plane), flap (move up and down about an invoiard mounted hinge), independent of the otherblades, and feather (rotate about the pitch axis to change lift) 3 Types of Approach - correct answer Normal: 7-12...

Absorption When a wave transfers energy to the energy stores of a material. Acceleration A measure of how quickly velocity is changing. Accurate result A result that is very close to the true answer. Activity (radioactive) The number of nuclei of a sample that decay per second. Air resistance The frictional force caused by air on a moving object. Alpha decay A type of radioactive decay in which an alpha particle is given out from a decaying nucleus. ...
