answer- False
(T/F) Propeller aircraft get the highest angle of climb at (L/DMAX
) - correct answer- False
(T/F) The lowest point on the Pr curve is (L/DMAX ) - correct
answer- False
(T/F) The minimum drag for a jet airplane does not vary with
altitude. - correct answer- True
(T/F) To obtain maximum glide distance, a heavily loaded
airplane must be flown at a higher airspeed than if it is lightly
loaded. - correct answer- True
, A jet airplane is flying to obtain maximum specific range. As fuel
is burned the pilot must - correct answer- Reduce
throttle and airspeed.
A lightly loaded propeller airplane will be able to glide ______
when it is heavily loaded. - correct answer- the same
distance as
A pilot is flying an airplane at the speed for best range under no
wind conditions. A tailwind is encountered. To get best range
now the pilot must - correct answer- slow down by an
amount less than the wind speed.
A propeller aircraft in the dirty condition shows that the Pr
moves up and to the left over the clean configuration. This is
because - correct answer- the increase is mostly due to
parasite Pr
As a propeller airplane burns up fuel, to fly for maximum range,
the airspeed must - correct answer- be slowed down
