This type of jet engine uses a turbine to drive a large fan, creating thrust from both core exhaust and bypass airflow.
What is a turbofan?
400
This miniseries focuses on the 8th Air Force as they flew B-17s during WWII.
What is Masters of the Air?
400
This is the only active duty Air Force base in Ohio.
What is Wright-Patterson AFB?
400
This is the name for when flow separates from an airfoil after a critical angle of attack, causing a dramatic loss in the lift generated.
What is a stall?
600

This stability parameter measures how far the aircraft’s center of gravity is ahead of the neutral point.
What is static margin?
600
This movie staring Harrison Ford and Garry Oldman takes place primarily on a Boeing VC-25.
What is Air Force One?

This base was where Chuck Yeager broke the speed of sound in 1947
What is Edwards AFB?
600
This defines the point on an airfoil where all aerodynamic forces act.
What is the aerodynamic center?
