AFOQT Study Guide - Aviation Information, AFOQT Study Guide - Physical Sciences Questions and Answers Fixed Wing aircraft - CORRECT ️️ when movement of the wings is not used to generate lift fixed wing aircraft - CORRECT ️️ consists of: wings, flight controls, tail assembly, landing gear, fuselage, and engine/powerplant airfoil - CORRECT ️️ designed to help create lift and control of an aircraft by using and manipulating airflow airfoil - CORRECT ️️ a wing or helicopter blade that generates more lift than drag as air flows over its upper and lower surfaces standard wing - CORRECT ️️ mounted to the sides of the fuselage standard wing - CORRECT ️️ air moves over the curved section at higher speeds than the flat section what enables flight (wings) - CORRECT ️️ the difference in airflow between air moving over curved sections and air moving over flat sections creates lift due to the aircraft's forward speed airfoil profile - CORRECT ️️ outline or cross section of the aircraft full cantilever wings - CORRECT ️️ no external bracing is required; strength is in the internal structure members and fuselage semi cantilever wings - CORRECT ️️ uses external bracing (wires or struts) fixed wings - CORRECT ️️ some wings are designed to tilt, sweep, or fold, but if they do not generate lift, then they are this kind of wing wing geometry - CORRECT ️️ shape of aircraft wings when viewed from the front or above spar - CORRECT ️️ structural member inside each wing which runs the length of the wing ribs - CORRECT ️️ attached perpendicularly to the spar or spars in order to provide the wing with more structure and greater strength skin - CORRECT ️️ aircraft's aluminum is attached to the framework of spars and ribs perpendicular wings - CORRECT ️️ airplanes that fly substantially below the speed of sound typically have this wing; they are perpendicular to the aircraft's longitudinal axis (nose to tail) swept wings - CORRECT ️️ the wings of most jet planes are swept back to delay the drag associated with air compressibility at high subsonic speeds which increase the performance of high performance airplanes delta wings - CORRECT ️️ wings that are shaped like a triangle variable geometry wings - CORRECT ️️ the pilot can swing the wings forward to a position that is roughly perpendicular to the fuselage for takeoff and is also done when landing at low airspeeds flight controls - CORRECT ️️ used to direct the forces on an aircraft in flight for the purpose of directional and altitude control three kinds of flight controls - CORRECT ️️ simple mechanic (manually operated), hydro-mechanical, and fly by wire leading edge - CORRECT ️️ front part of the wing that separates air, forcing it to go above or below the wing trailing edge (aft) - CORRECT ️️ back park of the wing where air comes back togeth
