(VERIFIED ANSWERS) | ALREADY GRADED A+ |
2025/2026LATEST | JUST RELEASED !!
controllability - ANSWER-The measure of an aircraft's response
relative to flight controls inputs from the pilot
controllable pitch propeller - ANSWER-a propeller that can be
varied in terms of its blade angle by the pilot
Coordinated flight - ANSWER-when the pilot applies flight and
power control inputs to prevent skipping or skidding during
any maneuver
lateral stability (Rolling) - ANSWER-an aircraft's initial tendency
relative to its longitudinal axis after being disturbed, its
designed quality to return to level flight following a disturbance
such as gust that causes a wing to drop
lift coefficient - ANSWER-a dimensionless quantity that
represents the lift generated by an airfoil of a particular design
,Lift/drag ratio - ANSWER-number that represents that air foils
efficiency. Ratio of the lift coefficient to the drag coefficient for
a specific angle of attack
lift off - ANSWER-rising from the earth as a result of the airfoils
lifting the aircraft above the ground
load factor (G loading) - ANSWER-the ratio of the load
supported by an aircraft's lift generating air foils, to the
aircraft's actual weight
Longitudinal stability - ANSWER-an aircraft's initial tendency
relative to its lateral axis after being disturbed.
Manueverability - ANSWER-aircrafts ability to change direction
across all axes and withstand the aerodynamic forces
Mean Camber Line - ANSWER-Imaginary line between the
leading and trailing edges and halfway between the airfoil's
upper and lower surfaces. Follows the line and shape of the
wing
minimum drag speed - ANSWER-point on the total drag curve
where total drag is minimized and lift is maximized
, Nacelle - ANSWER-an enclosure made out of metal or another
material that covers the engine
Normal Category - ANSWER-airplane intended for non acrobatic
operation that seats a maximum of nine passengers with a take
off weight of 12500 lbs or less
Payload - ANSWER-in the context of aviation the weight of an
aircraft's occupants cargo and baggage
P Factor - ANSWER-Tendency of a propeller driven aircraft to
yaw to the left when the propeller rotates clockwise because
the ascending propeller blade on the right produces more
thrust than on the left
Piston Engine - ANSWER-Heat engine that uses one or more
pistons to convert pressure created by expanding, hot gases
resulting from a combusted fuel-air mixture or steam pressure
into a rotating motion
Pitch - ANSWER-Rotation about the plane's lateral axis
Power Lever - ANSWER-the cockpit lever connected to a
turbine engine's fuel control unit, which changes the amount of
fuel entering the combustion chambers
