AVIT 323 CERTIFICATION EVALUATION
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS TEST BANK
●● Planform
Answer: the shape of the wing viewed from above
●● Chord Line
Answer: An imaginary straight line from the leading edge to the trailing
edge of an airfoil.
●● Leading Edge
Answer: The part of the airfoil that meets the airflow first.
●● Trailing Edge
Answer: The last point on an airfoil that interacts with the airflow
around the wing.
●● Mean Camber Line
Answer: An imaginary line between the leading and trailing edges and
halfway between the airfoil's upper (curved) and lower (flat) surfaces
, ●● Maximum Camber
Answer: the maximum distance of the mean camber line from the chord
line
●● Symmetrical Airfoil
Answer: An airfoil having the same shape on the top and bottom.
●● Cambered Airfoil
Answer: an airfoil that has a curved upper surface and a flat lower
surface
●● Adverse Pressure Gradient
Answer: A pressure gradient of increasing static pressure in the direction
of airflow.
●● Aspect Ratio
Answer: the wingspan divided by the average chord
●● Bernoulli's Principle
Answer: high speed = low pressure
●● Magnus Effect
Answer: a ball moving through the air
