Wings/wing design
The acute angle between the chord line of the airfoil and the direction of the relative wind
What is angle of attack
aircrafts initial response
what is static stability
aviator breathers oxygen is __ % pure
99.5
Exceeding this will cause a stall
What is critical angle of attack
The rate of turn is too great for the angle of bank and the plane is yawed inside the turn. Centrifugal force is greater than horizontal lift.
What is a Skidding turn
as the velocity of the fluid increases, its pressure decreases
What is Bernoulli's principle
aircrafts response over time
what is dynamic stability
the max time to make rational, lifesaving decisions and carry them out at a given altitude.
what is time of useful consciousness
Colors of the rotating beacon of a civil airport
What is white and green
ground effect is associated with a ____ of induced drag
What is reduction/decrease
an aircraft tends to yaw in the opposite direction of the turn
What is Adverse Yaw
Quality of plane to be maneuvered easily and withstand stresses imposed.
What is Maneuverability
this device allows pilots to not be on oxygen between FL350 and 410
What is Quick Donning Mask
Cessna 172 has these type of flaps
wingtip vortices are the worst when airplanes are
What is heavy, clean, slow
the point at which the front of the wing where the air separates
What is Stagnation Point
quality of response to control application when maneuvering
What is controllability
a change in cabin pressure where the lungs can decompress faster than the cabin
What is a rapid decompression
Downward deflection of air caused by the aircrafts wings
What is Downwash
As our wing creates lift, an upward force acts perpendicular to our relative win, creating what we call
What is a Lift vector
length of the ratio of root chord to the ratio of tip chord
What is Taper?
stability about this axis makes the airplane act as a weathervane
What is vertical
oxygen is usually stored at this pressure
1800-2200psi
This famous WW2 pilot had the most confirmed kills
Manfred von Richthofen aka the Red Baron
An airplanes critical AOA is typically around _____ degrees (5 degree range)
16-20
