Embry-Riddle UPDATED Actual Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
what is the definition of an aircraft - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- an airplane,helicopter,or
other machine capable of flight
what are the categories of aircraft of airmen certification - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
airplane,rotor craft,glider,rotor craft,Loghtwr than air,powered parachute,weight shift control
definition of airplane - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- a power flying vehicle with fixed wings
and weight greater than that of the air it's displaces
what is the definition of advanced avionic aircraft - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- avionics are
the electronic systems used on aircraft l,artificial statellites and spacecraft
four forces of flight - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- lift,thrust,drag,and weight
what is cg - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- center of gravity
what are the major components of an airplane - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
fuselage,wings,empennage,landing gear,power plant,ailerons,flaps
fuselage - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- main body of an aircraft
wings - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- used to generate loft caused by the vechicles forward
airspeed and the shape of the wings
empennage - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- arrangement of stabilizing surfaces at the tail of an
aircraft
landing gear - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- undercarriage of an aircraft,including wheels
which rests in the air
, power plant - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- engines that help airplanes and helicopters get off
the ground
ailerons - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- a hinged surface on the trailing edge of an airplane
wing
flaps - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- a type of high lift device used to increase the lift of an
aircraft wing at a given airspeed
airfoil - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- structure with curved surfaces designed to give them the
most favorable ratio of lift to drag
who is sir george cayley - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- father of aviation
first successful airfoil
cayley discovered lift makes flight possible (flight fundament)
lacked light weight engine
curved lifting surfaces generates more lift
octave chanute - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- studied past failures
hired augustus herring to fly his gliders
samuel langely - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- whirling arm
built over 100 models.
built aerodroms
who made little steam engines - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- john stringfellow
wright brothers - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- charles taylor built their aircraft engine
sustained,controlled powered flight at kitty hawk,north caroline on dec17,1903
