What is the movement of the center of pressure during/approaching a stall?
What is the movement of the center of pressure during/approaching a stall?
Center of pressure moves forward when approaching a stall.
What is Mcrit?
What is Mcrit?
Mcrit is the aircraft’s Mach speed at which the airflow over a wing becomes sonic.
What can you tell about adiabatic lapse rates?
What can you tell about adiabatic lapse rates?
When considering a volume of air, adiabatic lapse rate is the temperature change that is caused by the vertical movement of the volume, andThe Lapse Rate is the rate at which temperature changes with height in the atmosphere.
The Environmental Lapse Rate (ELR) is according to ISA 2°C per 1000 feet increasing altitude.
For unsaturated air, the lapse rate is 3°C per 1000 feet, this is called the Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate (DALR).
The Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate (SALR) is the rate at which saturated air cools with height and is, at low levels and latitudes, 1.8°C per 1000 feet.
How do you convert between lbs and kg?
How do you convert between lbs and kg?
1kg = 2.2lbs
Why do we use Jeppesen charts/plates?
Why do we use Jeppesen charts/plates?
Jeppesen charts and plates are simplified and uniform.
What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?
What is the difference between angle of attack and angle of incidence?
Angle of attack is the angle between the chord of the aerofoil and the relative airflow.
Angle of incidence is the angle between the chord and the aircrafts longitudinal datum.
What is the typical range of an NDB?
What is the typical range of an NDB?
Average range over land 20 - 25 miles.
Range for an NDB can be calculated with:
2√power output in Watts = Range (Land) 3√ power output in Watts = Range (Water)
Why does a wing stall?
Why does a wing stall?
A wing stalls because the airflow over the wing’s upper surface separates when the critical angle of attack is reached or exceeded. This causes a reduction in the lift generated by the aerofoil
What is the critical angle of attack?
What is the critical angle of attack?
The critical angle of attack is the angle of attack which produces maximum lift coefficient.
This is also called the "stall angle of attack".
