and CORRECT Answers
Thrust, Rolling resistance, and Aerodynamic drag during takeoff roll - CORRECT
ANSWER - Thrust decreases
Rolling resistance decreases
Aerodynamic drag increases
When will you get the greatest acceleration during takeoff roll? - CORRECT ANSWER -
During the first half
How does 10% increase in weight affect takeoff speed/distance? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Speed- Less than 10% (squareroot of 10)
Distance- More than 10%
Why can you lift off at a lower airspeed than landing? - CORRECT ANSWER - Because
you have the vertical component of thrust supporting some of your weight
You dont get half your takeoff speed by the halfway point, why? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Because thrust is diminishing greater than drag
How does increased P.A. affect takeoff distance? - CORRECT ANSWER - 1000' increase
in P.A. = 12% increase
Vx in recips - CORRECT ANSWER - Highest difference between thrust available and
thrust required curves
Vx in jets - CORRECT ANSWER - Occurs at L/Dmax because thrust available is a
straight line
