14. The angle of maximum lift is called critical angle (True/False).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(fluid_mechanics)
15. Effect of humidity and density on aircraft performance?
a) The power of the engine is also affected by high humidity. The reduced
power is due to the enriched mixture since there is less air available and high
water vapor level.
b) air density decreases. For instance, during a hot sunny day, the aircraft
needs more runway, faster approach, and poor climb rate. An uninformed or
unsuspecting pilot can face a disastrous situation when hot and high combine.
Aerodynamically speaking, high elevation and high temperature creates a
situation where the performance of a plane is reduced. With reduced fuel-air
mixture, the Hp output of the engine also decreases.

16. Give a brief explanation on aspect ratio?
In aeronautics, the aspect ratio of a wing is the ratio of its span to its
mean chord. It is equal to the square of the wingspan divided by the wing area.
Thus, a long, narrow wing has a high aspect ratio, whereas a short, wide wing
has a low aspect ratio.
Aspect ratio and other features of the planform are often used to predict the
aerodynamic efficiency of a wing because the lift-to-drag ratioincreases with
aspect ratio, improving fuel economy in aircraft.

17. Drag is defined as the component of aerodynamic force (parallel, lateral,

vertical) to the relative wind.

18. Relation between the C O P and C O G parallel is that cop is aft of cog of the
rotor mast.

19. Laminar flow is laminar flow (or streamline flow) occurs when a fluid flows
in parallel layers, with no disruption between the layers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminar_flow
20. Effect of boundary layer when passing on a rough surface is increasing the
angle of attack results in movement of transition locations toward the leading
edge. Surface roughness moved the transition point toward the leading edge
and caused early trailing edge turbulent separation, which resulted in reducing
the effectiveness of the airfoil. Boundary layer instability frequencies were
dominated through the transition.

21. What is the effect of velocity over lift doubling the velocity will quadruple
the lift and drag.
https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/vel.html
22. Absolute temperature is also called thermodynamic temperature, is the
temperature of an object on a scale where 0 is taken as absolute zero.
Absolute temperature scales are Kelvin (degree units Celsius)
and Rankine (degree units Fahrenheit).
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_temperature
23. Maximum amount of water vapor air can hold entirely depend on Relative
humidity.
https://quizlet.com/7426766/weather-chapter-5-flash-cards/
24. The effect of an airfoil with high lift over drag ratio is The maximum
lift/drag ratio occurs at one specific CL (Lift Coefficient) and AOA (Angle of
Attack). If the aircraft is operated in steady flight at Lift/Drag maximum ratio,
the total drag is at a minimum. Any AOA lower or higher than that producing
the maximum Lift/Drag ratio reduces the Lift/Drag ratio and consequently
increases the total drag for a given aircraft’s lift.

25. Name the types of drag and give some examples?
Types of drag are generally divided into the following categories:
 parasitic drag, consisting of
 form drag,
 skin friction,
 interference drag,
 lift-induced drag, and
 wave drag (aerodynamics) or wave resistance (ship hydrodynamics).
the component of the net aerodynamic or hydrodynamic force acting
opposite to the direction of movement of a solid object such as cars,
aircraft and boat hulls; or acting in the same geographical direction of
motion as the solid, as for sails attached to a down wind sail boat, or in
intermediate directions on a sail depending on points of sail. In the case of
viscous drag of fluid in a pipe, drag force on the immobile pipe decreases
fluid velocity relative to the pipe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_(physics)
26. Camber of an airfoil is the characteristic curve of its upper or lower surface.
The camber determines theairfoil's thickness. But, more important,
the camberdetermines the amount of lift that a wing produces as air flows
around it. A high-speed, low-lift airfoil has very little camber.
www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/flight31.htm
27. The air at low altitude is often described as being” thicker” because of
having more contains approximately 75% of the atmosphere's mass and 99%
of the total mass of water vapor and aerosols.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troposphere
28. Transition point is the point at which the boundary layer changes
from laminar to turbulent.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_point
29. Tapered wings aircraft formula for Aspect ratio is span divided by
the mean or average chord. It is a measure of how long and slender the wing
appears when seen from above or below.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_configuration
30. Coefficient of lift is is a number that aerodynamicists use to model all of
the complex dependencies of shape, inclination,and some flow conditions on
lift.
https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/liftco.html
31. An airfoil with a high aspect ratio has a higher moment of inertia to
overcome.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(aeronautics)
33. Angle of incidence is (sometimes referred to as the mounting angle) is the
angle between the chord line of the wing where the wing is mounted to the
fuselage, and a reference axis along the fuselage (often the direction of
minimum drag, or where applicable, the longitudinal axis). The angle of
incidence is fixed in the design of the aircraft, and with rare exceptions, cannot
be varied in flight.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_incidence_(aerodynamics)
34. How to minimize the parasite drag:
1. Remove it.
2. Streamline it.
3. Seal it.
4. Smooth it.

35. Free stream flow is where the air far upstream of an aerodynamic body,
that is, before the body has a chance to deflect, slow down or compress the
air.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freestream
36. Wing loading is defined as the total mass of an aircraft divided by the area
of its wing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_loading
37. Dihedral angle is defined as the upward angle from horizontal of the wings
or tailplane of a fixed-wing aircraft. "Anhedral angle" is the name given to
negative dihedral angle, that is, when there is a downward angle from
horizontal of the wings or tailplane of a fixed-wing aircraft.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_(aeronautics)
38. The stratosphere surrounding the earth extends upward approximately 50
km.
https://scied.ucar.edu/shortcontent/stratosphere-overview
39. Relative humidity is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to
the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at a given temperature .
