AGI:Gleim AGI (Chapter 1 and 2
airplane & performance) Questions
and All Correct Answers
What type of flaps creates the least change in pitching motion? - Answer Split
Which type of flaps is characterized by large increases in lift coefficient with minimum change in
drag - Answer Fowler
The aerodynamic forces produced by an anti-servo tab is a result of the tab - Answer Moving
in the same direction as the primary control surface to which it is mounted
An aircraft wing is designed to produce lift resulting from - Answer Positive air pressure
below the wings, surface and negative air pressure above the wings surface
why does increasing speed also increase lift? - Answer The increased impact of the relative
wind on the air, foils lower surface creates a greater amount of air being deflected downward
Which statement relates to Bernoulli's principle - Answer Air traveling faster over the curved
upper surface of an air foil causes lower pressure on the top surface
During flight, with zero angle of attack, the pressure along the upper surface of a wing would be
- Answer Less than atmospheric pressure
The point on an airfoil, through which lift acts is the - Answer Center of pressure
Change in center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft - Answer Aerodynamic, balance,
and controllability
When the angle of attack of a symmetrical, air foil is increased, the center of pressure will -
Answer Remain unaffected
The force which impacts a change in velocity of a mass is called - Answer Thrust
an airplane would have a tendency to nose up and have an inherent tendency to enter a stall
condition when the center of pressure is - Answer Forward of the center of gravity
, Airflow from two adjacent surfaces that merge and create any currents, turbulence, or restrict
airflow is called - Answer Interference. Drag
As speed increases in level flight, total drag of an aircraft becomes greater than the total drug
produced at maximum lift/drag speed because of the - Answer Increase in parasite drag
As airspeed decreases in lit level, Flight, total drag of an aircraft becomes greater than the total
drag produced at the maximum lift/drag speed because of the - Answer Increase in induced
drag
when transitioning from straight and level, Flight to a constant airspeed climb, the angle of
attack and lift - Answer Our momentarily increased and lift returns to a steady state during
the climb
Parasite drag is comprised of all forces that work to slow aircraft movement, and is - Answer
The drag not associated with the production of Lyft
Maximum glide distance of an aircraft is obtained when - Answer Induced drag and parasite
drag are equal
if an increase in power tends to make the nose of the airplane rise, this is the result of the -
Answer Line of thrust being below the center of gravity
When, considering the forces acting up upon an airplane in straight and level, Flight at constant
airspeed, which statement is correct - Answer Weight always acts vertically towards the
center of the earth
During a steady climb, the angle of climb depends on - Answer Excess thrust
Which statement describes the relationship of the forces acting on an aircraft in constant power,
and constant airspeed descent - Answer Thrust is equal to drag, lift is equal to weight
During flight advancing thrust will - Answer Caused the airplane to increase airspeed and
climb
Lift produced by an air foil is the net force developed perpendicular to the - Answer Relative
wind
