what are two froces parallel to the flight path in cruise?
drag and thrust
name five forces that the tail down force has to equal during normal cruise
normal lift weight coupling
thrust
drag
wing forward pitching moment
fuselage destabilizing moment
what happens to performance as weight goes up?
decrease
what happens to performance as altitude goes up?
decreases
what is the difference between rated horsepower in the engine and the force that makes the aircraft go forward?
prop efficiency
what is dynamic hydroplpaning?
high speeds in standing water
what is viscous hydroplaning?
thin layer of water on top of a slippery surface
what is revrted rubber hydroplaning?
break lockup
in normal cruise the perpendicular forces on the aircraft have to equal what?
zero
what is L/Dmax
angle of attack
when is an aircraft considered to be trimmed?
when all the momets around the CG equal zero
what is endurance?
total time you can go
what is range?
total distance you can go
which drag increases and velocity increases?
parasite
what happens to surface friction during takeoff?
decreases because wieght shifts onto the wings
sum of all forces equation
(T-D) - µ(W-L)
T= thrust
D= Drag
µ= friction
W= weight
L= lift
what does newton’s second law say about the direction of acceleration?
same as the force
on landing what happens to friction as velocity decreases?
increases
what happens to aerodynamic drag as velocity decreases?
decreases
on landing approach what can I do to reduce the horizontal component of inertia?
steeper approach
hit the approach speed
low temperatures are high or low density?
high
high pressure is high or low density?
high
low humidity is high or low density?
high
five ways lifting off too soon increases total takeoff distance?
aerodynamic braking
stuck in ground effect
induced drag goes up
insufficient lift
insufficient thrust
three items that determine landing roll friction?
condition of runway surface
breaking ability
forces acting normal to runway
twelve ways to maximize deaceleration after touchdown
negative thrust
aerodynamic breaking
flaps up
spoilers
anti-skid breaks
land uphill
land into the wind
hit the side of a barn
wheel braking
opening the door
speed brakes
reversible pitch prop
what hydroplanes at a lower speed a 172 or 747
neither (its all about the tire pressure)
what are two reasons flaps help reduce landing roll distance?
increases angle of descent
slower airspeed
why does an approach angle effect inertia?
reduces horizontal component of velocity and reduces the flare distance
Newton’s first law
object in motion will stay in motion
Newton’s second law
F=ma
Newton’s thrid law
for action there is an equal and opposite reaction
what are the forces on a landing?
thrust, friction, and drag
