Aileron - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Lift acts in the direction of low pressure - Answer How does an airplane acheive lift? Left wing; clockwise Right wing; counterclockwise - Answer Describe the direction of wing tip vortices. All parts of the airplane that do not contribute to lift Sub components: 1) form drag: drag created by the shape of body 2) skin friction: tendency of air flowing over a body to cling to its surface - Answer What is parasite drag? What are the sub components of parasite drag? The parts o...

What is the purpose of the spoilerons? correct answers The spoilerons aid the ailerons to provide greater roll response at low airspeeds. How are the aileron, elevator and rudder surfaces moved? correct answers Through the controls on the flight deck, control movement is transmitted via cable and/or push rods to the power control units (PCU) that will hvdraulicallv move the surface. How many PCUs are on each aileron? correct answers 2 Explain how the aileron control system is actually t...

ANS Federal Aviation Administration The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are ANS Lift Weight Thrust Drag Which statement relates to Bernoulli's principle? ANS Air traveling faster over the curved upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface The two parts of the wing which maneuver the aircraft are the ANS Flaps from the wing root to the ...

CAP Mitchell Aerospace 2024/2025 Questions with Correct Answers 1st U.S. space station - Correct Answer Skylab What does the aileron do? - Correct Answer moves plane along longitudinal axis Coanda effect - Correct Answer air is a fluid like water and the flow tends to stick to the wing cause of relative winds - Correct Answer as an airplane moves forward on takeoff, it creates a "wind" that goes in the opposite direction __________ can have enough energy to provide lift for an air...

When is continuing flight into icing conditions prohibited? - Answer- When any of the following occur: ● airspeed of 120 KIAS cannot be maintained; ● an airspeed decrease of 10 knots that cannot be remedied by application of max continuous thrust; ● MEA or MOCA for current leg falls into area "C" of icing service ceiling (section 5 S1 of POH). What else acts in conjunction with the ailerons to assist in roll control? - Answer- Spoiler (up) deflection on the applicable aileron si...
