Answers:

1. False - Lift and Weight are balanced in steady flight, but the balance can change
with different angles of attack or aircraft configurations.
2. False - The Center of Pressure on an airfoil does not necessarily coincide with
the center of gravity of the aircraft.
3. False - The Aspect Ratio is determined by the ratio of wingspan to mean chord,
not just size, and larger wings do not always have a higher aspect ratio.
4. True - The Coefficient of Pitching Moment (Cm) does vary with different angles of
attack, indicating the resistance to pitch changes.
5. True - Mach numbers less than 0.3 are typically associated with incompressible
flow.
6. False - Bernoulli's equation is not valid for compressible flows and high Mach
numbers; it is a simplification applicable to incompressible, subsonic flows.
7. True - The first digit in NACA airfoil nomenclature denotes maximum thickness as
a percentage of the chord.
8. False - The NACA 2412 airfoil has its maximum camber located at 2% of the
chord length from the leading edge.
9. False - The Mach number (M) depends on both the velocity of the object and the
speed of sound.
10. False - The Coefficient of Lift (Cl) can vary with different Mach numbers.
