1. Compared to a straight wing, a swept wing will
a. stall at a higher AOA
b. have a higher C(L Max)
c. have a more abrupt stall
d. both a and c are correct - ️️a.
2. An increase in aircraft weight _______ the rate of climb

b. decreases
c. does not change - ️️b.
3....
Assuming no winds, the angle of climb is the angle between
the aircraft's
a. flightpath and the relative wind
b. flightpath and the horizontal plane
c. longitudinal axis and the horizontal plane
d. lateral axis and the relative wind - ✔ ✔ b.
At final approach airspeed, the T-38 may not have enough
aileron authority to maintain control if a strong wake
vortex is encountered.
True/False - ✔ ✔ True
,Because the aerodynamic center (AC) of the aircraft moves
rearward in supersonic flight, the T-38 is more stable, but
less maneuverable in supersonic flight.
True/False - ✔ ✔ True
Because the T-38 has a hydraulically-powered flight control
system with a n artificial feel spring system and bob weight
that increases the stick force required, PIOs only occur at
around 0.9 Mach where the aircraft's pitch sensitivity is at
a maximum.
True/False - ✔ ✔ False
Compared to a straight wing, a swept wing will
a. have less parasite drag
,b. stall at a lower airspeed
c. have less induced drag
d. both a and b are correct - ✔ ✔ a.
Compared to a straight wing, a swept wing will

d. both a and c are correct - ✔ ✔ a.
An increase in aircraft weight _______ the rate of climb
a. increases
b. decreases
c. does not change - ✔ ✔ b.
, As an aircraft burns fuel and the gross weight decreases,
the maximum range airspeed
a. increases
b. decreases
c. remains the same - ✔ ✔ b.
As AOA increases, which of the following is true concerning
rudder and aileron effectiveness?
a. Rudder and aileron effectiveness increase
b. Rudder and aileron effectiveness decrease
c. Rudder effectiveness increases, aileron effectiveness
decreases
d. Rudder effectiveness decreases, aileron effectiveness
increases - ✔ ✔ c.
