What is an airfoil surface? correct answers Wings, propeller, Rotor blades, buoyancy

What are the categories under which civilian aircraft are certified? 7 total correct answers
Normal, utility, acrobatic, commuter, transport, manned free balloons and special classes

Who issues Special Airworthiness Certificates and what are the categories for which they will
certify? correct answers Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), primary, restricted, multiple,
limited, light-sport, experimental, special flight permit, provisional

Military aircraft are categorized by their mission. List the missions (15) correct answers Air
superiority, Anti-sub, coastal patrol, electronic warfare, ground attack (close air support),
interdiction, mid-air refueling, mine sweeping, recon, search/rescue, strategic bombing,
surveillance, training, transport, weather observation

Define fuselage on a fixed wing aircraft correct answers Fuselage is the nose section- cockpit +
cabin

What is empennage on a fixed wing aircraft? correct answers Tail of plane with vertical
stabilizer, hinged elevator, horizontal stabilizer and hinged rudder

How does the pilot control the rudder and what does the rudder do? correct answers Pilot
controls rudder with pedals and moves the plane left or right

How does pilot control hinged elevator and what does it accomplish? correct answers Joystick +
moves plane up and down

, What is a stabilator and what type of fixed wing aircraft have it? correct answers All-moving
horizontal stabilizer and elevator. Some fighters (F-16)

What is the purpose of flaps on a plane's wing? Where are they located on the wing? correct
answers To increase wing's surface area to reduce speed and augment lift in order to land and
take off at lower velocities using less runway. They are located along the aft edge of the wing

Some airplanes have slats on their wings. What is their purpose and where are they located on
the wing? correct answers Help airplane land/take off at lower speeds, less runway. Located at
front edge of wing. C-17 has slats an flaps (USAF)

What are spoilers, what do they do, and where are they located on the plane? correct answers
Hinged panels that move upward after landing and destroy residual lift, putting plane's full
weight on landing gear. They are on the top of the wing

What are air brakes? What is another name for them? What kind of planes have them and where
are they often located? correct answers Brakes that help decelerate the aircraft, and in flight,
increase rate of descent. Also called speed brakes. High-performance planes such as fighters.
Located on top of fuselage (F-15)

What is the difference between air brakes and spoilers? correct answers Air brakes don't destroy
lift, spoilers do. Spoilers do not increase rate of descent, air brakes do

What is the main structural member inside of a plane's wing? correct answers Spar- usually runs
the length of the entire wing. Large wings often have multiple spars per wing

What structural member of the wing is perpendicular to the Spar? What is the purpose? correct
answers Ribs, increase strength and support

What is the skin of an aircraft? What material is it (generally)? correct answers Aluminum
surrounding framework of spars and ribs

Do planes with wings that are perpendicular to the aircraft's longitudinal axis fly below or above
the speed of sound? correct answers Below

How are the wings adjusted of jets that fly close to or above the speed of sound in relation to the
longitudinal axis? correct answers Wings are swept back to delay drag associated with air
compressibility at high speeds. Increase performance.

What is a delta wing? correct answers Wing shaped like a triangle

What is a variable-geometry wing? How do pilots use them? correct answers Swing wings
forward to perpendicular to longitudinal axis for take off, landing and low speeds, swing back for
high speeds
