c. stall angle
d. all
5. What is the resistance caused by the tendency of the particles of air to

cling the surface of the air foil?

b. skin friction
c. form drug
d. all
6. At what distance on the chord line is the C.P travels
a. b/n 3/10 – 5/10
b. b/n 4/10 – 5/10
c. b/n 3/10 – 4/10
d. none
- the most forward position is three-tenths for most airfoil

section
- farthest position to the rear may reach four-tenths of
the chord back from the leading edge
7. During Burble point at which surface of the wing the streamline flow
begins to break down?
a. upper surface of the wing
b. lower surface of the wing
c. on both surfaces of the wing
d. all
8. What is meant by stalling air speed?
a. the minimum speed at which the wing will maintain lift
b. the maximum speed at which the wing will maintain lift
c. the minimum speed at which the wing will lose lift
d. None
Thus another name for the angle of maximum lift is the angle of minimum
speed.
The stalling speed of an airplane is the minimum speed at which the wing
will maintain lift.
9. What are the relations of aerodynamic force when the aircraft flow on
a constant speed (un-accelerated motion)?
a. thrust = drug
b. lift = weight
c. thrust = parasitic drug +Form drug +induced drug
d. all
10. Dynamic pressure is:
a. Directly proportional to air speed and air density
b. Directly proportional to air speed and inversely proportional to
density
c. Directly proportional to air density and inversely proportional to
air speed
d. Inversely proportional to air speed and air density
11. As the angle of attack of an airfoil increases, the center of pressure
will ___________________
a. Remain stationary because both lift and drag components
increase proportionally to increased angle of attack
b. Move toward the leading edge
1/2 X density X velocity squared
c. Move toward the trailing edge The term static pressure refers to the pressure
d. None exerted by a mass of stationary air equally on all of
the walls of a container.
The dynamic pressure is the pressure that would be
exerted if the moving air were brought to a stop.
- forward as the angle of attack increases and vise-versa

12. Span wise load is the ratio between
a. The wing span and the wing chord
b. The wing span and the aircraft weight
c. The aircraft weight and the wing chord
d. The aircraft weight and the wing span
13. Which method is practical to reduce the effect of wing tip vortices?
a. built in twist wing
b. Wing lets
c. Load factor
d. None
14. Which fixed control Surfaces to provide stability and control during
flight?
a. wing
b. vertical stabilizer
c. horizontal stabilizer
d. all
15. What type of mechanism is used in order to reduce the drug caused by
the supersonic flow over portion of the wing?
a. trim tabs
b. slats
c. vortex generators(small aerofoil installed vertically into the
airstream)
d. spoilers
16. Differential movement of the ailerons travel is used to avoid _______.
a. slip
b. adverse roll
c. stability
d. adverse yaw
(To overcome adverse yaw, the ailerons of an airplane are
rigged for differential movement. The differential control
causes the up-moving aileron to move a greater distance
than the down-moving aileron. The amount of differential is
sufficient to balance the drag between the ailerons, thus
eliminating the yaw effect.)
17. What are the unusual flight control that serves as an aileron and
elevator?
a. elevator
b. elevon
c. raddervator
d. flaperon
18. In helicopter rotor blade, the difference in the air speed of the
advancing and retreating blades is referred as _________.
a. modified lift
b. dissymmetry of lift
c. conic effect
d. none
19. What is the safety future incorporated in the helicopter in the event of
power failure?
A.____________________
20. The stationary flight of the helicopter is called _________ .

a. hanging
b. hovering
c. hamming
d. none
21. The helicopter sideway movement is controlled by ________.

a. cyclic pitch
b. collective pitch
c. pedal
d. all
The helicopter can be moved in any direction desired merely by moving the
cyclic-pitch control in that direction. Direction of flight is controlled by cyclic
pitch
Using collective pitch raise the helicopter from the ground,
increases the collective pitch, thereby increasing lift to all blades
evenly.
22. What is mean by the tail rotor in the helicopter?

a. Opposes the torque caused by the main rotor
b. used as anti torque rotor
c. Operated by a pedal (anti torque pedal)
d. all
23. The smooth and easy response of the airplane to its controls as
operated by the pilot is known as
a. Maneuverability
b. controllability
c. stability
d. none
Stability helps keep the aircraft in a desired flight path; however,
sometimes it is desirable to deviate from that path. Maneuverability is
also an important characteristic of an airplane. This is the ability of an
airplane to be directed along a selected flight path. The smooth and easy
response of the airplane to its controls is important. If the airplane does
not have the proper degree of this quality, it will be difficult and tiring to
fly, particularly through maneuvers. A good balance between stability
and maneuverability is important in any aircraft design.
24. which of the following is not a high lift device
a. slots
b. slats
c. leading edge flaps
d. spoilers
25. What are the three axes of an air plane and their respective aircraft
movement?
a. _________________________________
b. _________________________________
c. _________________________________
