Airplane Aerodynamics Quiz

learn-english-with-antara

Newton’s Law of Gravitation is universal. Airplanes aren’t any exception. They need to act against this law to lift off and fly. And, you need to have exemplary knowledge of Aerodynamics to make them not just fly, but also to take-off and land, to maneuver, to climb, to turn, roll, pitch and yaw to your satisfaction.

Don’t let gravity pull your score of this Airplane Aerodynamics Quiz down!


Which force does NOT act on an aircraft in steady and level flight?

  1. Centrifugal

  2. Weight

  3. Drag

  4. Thrust

In steady and level flight, the four forces are thrust, drag, lift and weight.

It's the angle between the wing chord and the wind direction

  1. Angle of Attack

  2. Angle of Incidence

  3. Angle of Atitude

  4. Angle of Flight

The aircraft 'attacks' the wind at this angle!

In steady and level flight, the sum of forces is zero. The aircraft still moves forward. What is it?

  1. Dynamic Stability

  2. Inertial Stability

  3. Steady Stability

  4. Static Stability

The aircraft is stable in its motion - Dynamic Stability

Retracting landing gears nearing the airframe produce

  1. Form Drag

  2. Skin Friction Drag

  3. Interference Drag

  4. Induced Drag

Interference drag is produced by the mixing of two air streams around two different aircraft surfaces.

Which force makes an aircraft turn?

  1. The Vertical Component of Lift

  2. Centrifugal Force

  3. The Turn-side Component of Lift

  4. The Horizontal Component of Lift

For a aircraft in turn, vertical lift opposes gravity and horizontal lift which opposes inertia. It is the horizontal lift component that assists the aircraft in turning

This type of flow is practically impossible over the aircraft

  1. Inviscid Flow

  2. Turbulent Flow

  3. Compressible Flow

  4. Viscous FLow

Inviscid flow only exists in assumptions

Shocks are feature of what type of flow

  1. Incompressible

  2. Inviscid

  3. Supersonic

  4. Subsonic

Shocks is a feature of flow over Mach 1 (Supersonic flow )

Oops! You need to brush up your Aerodynamics skills

Excellent! You have a good understanding of Aerodynamics
