AFOQT (Aviation) VERIFIED Four Areodynamic forces acting on an airplane are? - ANSWER Drag, Lift, Thrust, Weight An airplane wing is designed to produce lift resulting from relatively: - ANSWER Positive below the wing/Negative above the wing Forces acting on a plane in a steady flight condition? - ANSWER Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag A flashing green air traffic control signal directed to an aircraft on the surface is a signal that the pilot is: - ANSWER Cleared to taxi Steady red light from the tower means? - ANSWER Keep circling Flashing red light means? - ANSWER Unsafe to land The propeller blades are curved on one side and flat on the other side to: - ANSWER Produce thrust When in the Down position position wingflaps provide? - ANSWER Increase drag and lift What makes an airplane turn? - ANSWER Horizontal component of lift What is one advantage of an airplane said to be inherently stable? - ANSWER The Airplane will require less effort to control. If the elevator trim tabs on a plane are lowered, the plane will tend to? - ANSWER Nose up The pilot always advances the throttle during a: - ANSWER Climb The pilot of an airplane can best detect the approach of a stall by the? - ANSWER Ineffectivness of the airlerons and elevator It is ordinarily desirable to provide an unusually long flight strip at municipal airports for the takeoff of? - ANSWER Heavily loaded ships in the air The small hinged section on the elevator of the most airplanes is known as the: - ANSWER Trim Tab At night, airport taxiways are identified by omnidirectional edge lights that are? - ANSWER Blue If the ammeter in an aircraft shows a negative value this means: - ANSWER Output from the alternator or generator output is inadequate The thrust of a turbojet is developed by compressing air in the inlet and compressor, mixing the air with fuel and burning it in the combustor and... - ANSWER Expanding the gas stream through the turbine and nozzle A ramjet engine consists of? - ANSWER Inlet, combustion zone and a nozzle For a fixed wing aircraft, lift is generated _____ to the direction of flight. - ANSWER Perpendicular The angle formed by the chord of an airfoil or wing and the direction of the relative wind is known as the: - ANSWER Angle of attack Pilot tubes furnish data to an instrument that is used by aircraft pilots in about the same way that a ________ is used by and automobile driver. - ANSWER Speedometer The part of the aircraft that holds the cargo, fuel and passengers- as well as providing a base for the other aircraft parts- is known as the: - ANSWER Fuselage On a conventional aircraft the ____ controls pitch and ____ controls Yaw. - ANSWER Horizontal stabilizers and Vertical Stabilizers ______ are additonal hinged rear sections mounted to the wing near the body that are deployed downward on takeoff and landing to increase the amount of force produced by the wing. - ANSWER Flaps What does not affect density altitude? - ANSWER Wind velocity The degree of movement of an aircraft around its longitudinal axis is known as: - ANSWER Bank The Venturi theory of lift says that faster airflow over the curved upper portion of a wing surface causes: - ANSWER Decreased pressure according to Bernoulli's equation The maneuver in which a rotary wing aircraft is maintained in nearly motionless flight over a ground reference point at a constant altitude and heading is known as: - ANSWER Hovering The ratio of the speed of an aircraft to the speed of sound in air around the aircraft is: - ANSWER Mach Number The acceleration experienced by the aircraft and its pilot in the direction perpendicular to the wing is soley determined by the: - ANSWER Bank Angle the flight envelope of the aircraft is: - ANSWER The region of altitude and airspeed in which it can be operated. The locus of points equidistant from the upper and lower surfaces of an airfoil is called the: - ANSWER Mean camber line The straight line joining the mean camber line is called: - ANSWER Wing chord A ________ is the point at which the airflow over the wings ceases to be a smooth flow and the wing starts to lose lift - ANSWER Aerodynamic stall The tow basic types of drag are : - ANSWER Parasitic and induced An airfoil's efficiency, either a wing or a rotor blade, is ______ at hig
