MODULE 8 – BASIC AERODYNAMIC

1.Passenger aircraft fly at 
– troposphere

2.Ambient pressure at sea level 
– 1013.25 milibars

3.Pressure decrease 
– temperature decrease

4.Temperature lapse rate
 – 1.98ºC at every 1000 ft

5.Bernoulli’s theorem the sum of 
– potential energy, pressure energy and kinetic energy is constant

6.Mean camber line 
– line equidistant from top surface  and bottom surface

7.Airflow thru the convergent duct causes
 – increase in velocity and decrease in pressure

8.What is angle of attack 
– angle between chord line and relative airflow

9.When lift increase in an aerofoil 
– centre of pressure moves forward

10.Which is true statement 
– lift act at right angle of the relative air flow and weight is vertically down

11.In an aerofoil formula, co-efficient of lift  is depend on 
– aerofoil shape and the angle of attack

12.Transition point at the wing is 
– separation of boundary layer from laminar flow to the turbulent flow

13.If a aircraft engine losses power it will 
– nose pitch down

14.Induced drag varies with
a)Square of the speed
b)Inversely proportional to the square of the speed

15.All 3 axis is thru
 – C of G

16.Lateral stability can be achieved by 
– main plane dihedral angle

17.High aspect ratio
 – decrease in induced drag 

18.What instability of yaw and roll 
– Dutch roll

19.Wash out
 – decrease of incidence from root to wing tip

20.Vapour trail at wingtip during the flight caused by 
– high pressure at the bottom wing and low pressure at the top wing  which causes the vortices
