Avit 323 Block 11 Power and
Performance Exam Questions &
Answers 100% Correct!
Performance is - ANSWERScombined effects of drag and thrust
Speed associated with minimum drag - ANSWERSthe bottom of the total drag curve
How fast will it go? - ANSWERSCombination of power available, aerodynamic
cleanliness of the airplane and the wight
power required - ANSWERSdrag x velocity
power required curve - ANSWERShas nothing to do with engine power
Power Available is - ANSWERSTHP available
some horse power is reduced during propeller efficiency so thats why the bhp is
multiplied by - ANSWERSproper efficiency yields (thrust horsepower)
reduce power and settle for less speed but only to the point of minimum power -
ANSWERSthis is the backside of the power curve
minimum power speed is very - ANSWERSlow
most airplanes stall before getting much - ANSWERSlower than the minimum power
speed
BHP x Propeller Efficiency - ANSWERSThrust Horsepower
Available power - ANSWERSTHP available
How fast will it climb? - ANSWERSAirplanes climb due to excess power available
combination of reduced weight/drag and the engine performance will affect how fast it
climbs
How quickly will it takeoff/land - ANSWERSbased off weight, traits, drag (tire friction &
induced)
as we increase in altitude the amount of power the engine produces ( normally
aspirated engines) - ANSWERSdecreases
