SIFT Army Aviation What are the 3 types of drag? - correct answer Parasite Drag, Induced Drag, Profile Drag Profile Drag - correct answer Type of drag caused by the separation of boundary layers and increased friction on airfoils. Dependent on the shape of the aircraft. Parasite Drag - correct answer Type of drag that acts on an object, creating friction when the object is moving through liquid (a.k.a, the atmosphere.) Induced Drag - correct answer Type of drag that occurs when airfoil develops lift. Air low at the wing decreases while pressure at the bottom of the wing increases. Name the Flight Controls - correct answer Collective, Throttle, Cyclic, Anti-Torque Pedals Collective - correct answer Creates lift and controls vertical aircraft movement, pitch angle increases simultaneously. (Increases and decreases lift.) Typically located to the left of the pilot's seat. Throttle - correct answer Used to control power to the engine. Used whenever RPM drops or rises beyond designated value. Correlator - correct answer Mechanical tool that links the throttle to the collective, automatically increasing or decreasing throttle when collective is used. Manual control occasionally required. Governor - correct answer Electronic sensor that tracks RPM. Cyclic - correct answer Used to generate thrust and control horizontal movement. Usually located between pilot's legs. Alters pitch of rotor blades cyclically. Anti-Torque Pedals - correct answer Located at the feet of the pilot.
