AVIA 305 QUIZ Aircraft Performance - Questions and Answers

AVIA 305 QUIZ Aircraft Performance • Question 1 The power-required curves for an increase in altitude show that the • Question 2 The equation Ta=Q(V2-V1) shows that • Question 3 The lowest point on the Pr curve is (L/D)MAX • Question 4 A gas turbine engine that uses most of its power to drive a propeller. • Question 5 (Reference Figure 7.2) Using Figure 7.2, find the velocity for best range for the airplane at 12,000 lbs. • Question 6 An engine that utilizes compressed air, via a compressor, to provide sea level performance to approximately 18,000 feet. • Question 7 The thrust available from a jet engine at 35,000 ft altitude compared to that at sea level is • Question 8 0 out of 2.5 points A propeller where the pilot can adjust the pitch setting in the air. It usually is restricted to either the takeoff setting or the cruise setting. • Question 9 (Reference Figure 7.2) Using Figure 7.2, find the velocity for best range for the airplane at 8,000 lbs. • Question 10 An example of a power-producing aircraft is a • Question 11 Which horsepower is the usable horsepower for reciprocating engines? • Question 12 A propeller which has only one pitch setting is known as: • Question 13 An example of a thrust-producing aircraft is a • Question 14 Turboprop aircraft are classified as power producers because • Question 15 Maximum climb angle for a jet aircraft occurs at • Question 16 An engine where the fuel-air mixture is forced into the cylinders by natural atmospheric pressure upon opening of the inlet valves. • Question 17 A propeller where the blade pitch setting is either hydraulically or electrically controlled. The pilot selects the desired RPM with a lever, and a control governor automatically changes the blade pitch to maintain a constant RPM. • Question 18 A pilot is flying a jet aircraft at the speed for best range under no wind conditions. A tailwind is encountered. To get best range now the pilot must • Question 19 To obtain maximum range, a jet airplane must be flown at • Question 20 A propeller aircraft in the dirty condition shows that the Pr moves up and to the left over the clean configuration. This is because • Question 21 The increase in the Pr curves for a weight increase is greater at low speeds than at high speeds because the increase in • Question 22 Maximum rate of climb for a jet airplane occurs at • Question 23 Propeller aircraft get the highest angle of climb at (L/D)MAX. • Question 24 In order to maximize range on a propeller-driven airplane at high altitude, true airspeed should be . • Question 25 The turboprop aircraft has its lowest specific fuel consumption at about 25,000 feet altitude because • Question 26 If the weight of a jet airplane is increased then • Question 27 (Reference Figure 7.2) Using Figure 7.2, find the velocity for maximum endurance for the airplane at 12,000 lbs. • Question 28 The minimum drag for a jet airplane does not vary with altitude. • Question 29 Q in Ta=Q(V2-V1) is the mass flow (slugs/sec). The mass flow depends on • Question 30 If the weight of a jet airplane is reduced as fuel is burned, the Tr curve
