Assignment - Rocket Science Discussion Questions
Q1- Discuss the difference between propeller-driven aircraft power and jet engine thrust. Please provide examples of civilian or military aircraft in your discussion
Q2-In flight, an aircraft will rotate about its center of gravity as forces are applied at the center of pressure of each control surface. During maneuvering flight, discuss what is meant by the term known as "translation".
Q3- 1. Explain what L/D is.
2. Describe propeller efficiency and why it's important.
3. What is the difference between a fixed-pitch propeller and a controllable-pitch propeller?
Q4. As velocity increases, the propeller blades' relative wind moves in relation to the chord line. Does the AOA increase or decrease? What effect does this have on propeller RPM?
Q5. Describe propeller twist and its purpose.
1- Describe what limits an aircraft's ability to maneuver.
2. When flying at the minimum steady flight speed in level flight, if the aircraft enters a level turn without increasing its speed, the aircraft will is increased to maintain altitude. as the angle of attack
3. If the limit load factor is exceeded, the aircraft will experience structural failure. (True/False)
4. What is the primary reason power must be added in a turn to maintain airspeed?
5. Why is the application of power used to assist in the recovery of a stall, but not a spin?
