Module 8 Exam Aerodynamics Exam 42 1.

The optimum angle of attack is the best angle of attack a) for take-off b) in cruise c) for landing 2. A shock stall occurs at a) small angles of attack b) large angles of attack c) equally both large and small angles of attack 3. Vortex generators are fitted to aircraft to a) move the transition point forward b) move the stagnation point rearwards c) move the transition point rearwards 4. A vortex generator is designed a) to delay boundary layer separation b) to increase flow separation at high speed c) to enlarge the tip vortex thus reducing parasitic drag 5. Aerodynamic balance of a control surface may be achieved a) by a horn at the extremity of the surface forward of the hinge line b) by weights added to the control surface aft of the hinge line c) by a trimming strip at the trailing edge of the surface

6.

In a reversed chambered stabiliser the yoke has been moved such that the elevator is up. This a) will increase tailplane download b) will decrease tailplane download c) may increase or decrease tailplane download depending upon the aircraft's C of G position

7.

Wing spoilers, when used asymmetrically, are associated with a) rudder b) elevators c) ailerons

8.

Air brakes can be used to a) dump the lift off the wings on landing b) prevent turbulence during high speed flight c) laterally trim the aircraft independent of the aileron control system

9.

If the ailerons are moved from the neutral position there is a) higher induced drag on down going aileron b) induced drag on both ailerons but more so on down going one c) induced drag is unaffected, only profile drag changes

10.

The International Standard Atmosphere can be described as

a) The atmosphere which can be used Worldwide to provide comparable performance results ** b) The atmosphere at 45 degrees north latitude c) The atmosphere at the equator with certain conditions ** Please do not report this as being the same question (but different answer) to a previous question **
