,What is the effect on total drag if airspeed slows below L/D max?
A) drag increases because of increase in parasitic drag.
B) drag decreases because of lower induced drag.
C)drag increases because of increased induced drag.

When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate airspeed for maximum range, which type of drag
predominates?
A) parasite
B) induced drag
C) each type of drag contributes equally
- correct answer A) parasite
While already at high speed what happens if mach is allowed to increase?
A) airflow over parts of the airplane begins to exceed the speed of sounds.
B) shock waves can cause local airflow separation.
C) characteristics such as pitch-up, pitch-down, or buffeting may occur.
D) All of the above.

, What is the result of a shock induced separation of airflow occurring symmetrically near the wing root of
a swept wing aircraft?
A) high speed stall and sudden pitch up
B) severe porpoising
C) A severe moment or "Mach Tuck"
- correct answer C) a severe moment or "Mach Tuck"
The speed of sound generally decreases with increasing altitude.
This occurs because:

B) the maximum Mach number at which an aircraft may be safely operated
C)speed of an aircraft in which air flow over any part of the aircraft or structure first reaches but does
not exceed mach 1
- correct answer C)speed of an aircraft in which air flow over any part of the aircraft or structure first
reaches but does not exceed mach 1
