AFAB 115 Final Study Guide Exam Questions
With Correct Answers
What does the aircraft structures basic construction consists of? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-The fuselage, wings, empennage, landing gear, and powerplants.
| | | | | | |
What should the bearing strength of the sheet metal and the shear strength of
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
the rivet be? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-relatively equal
| | | | | |
True or False: the shear strength of the rivet must be greater than the bearing
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
strength of the sheet metal - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-True
| | | | | | |
What are the parts of an aircraft structure designed to carry loads and or stresses
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
called? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-structural members
| | | | |
What is a spar? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The wings principle structural member
| | | | | | | | | |
What are the Ailerons, Rudder, and Elevator? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The three
| | | | | | | | | | |
Primary flight Control Surfaces of an aircraft
| | | | | |
What are the three secondary control surfaces? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The
| | | | | | | | | |
Slats, Spoilers, and Flaps.
| | |
, What are the purposes of Slats and Flaps? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-To increase
| | | | | | | | | | | |
the camber of a wing, and increase lift at slower speeds
| | | | | | | | | |
What is the purpose of spoilers? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-To slow the aircraft and
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
disrupt the lift of an airfoil.
| | | | |
What are structural supports that are under the aircraft skin? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Longerons, bulkheads, and stringers | | |
True or False: Longerons do not run the entire length of the aircraft fuselage. -
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-False. |
(They do run the entire length)
| | | | |
What are are tension, compression, torsion, shear, and bending? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-The five major stresses that act on an aircraft | | | | | | | |
What is strength? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The ability of a material to withstand
| | | | | | | | | | | |
forces, which tend to deform it in any direction, and the ability of that material to
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|resist stress without breaking
| | |
What is shear strength? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The point at which a materials
| | | | | | | | | | | |
would fail under shear force
| | | |
