The units of a turning moment are
Newton x meters.
Boundry Layer
the layer where surface friction influences the speed
What is the name of the point, where the laminar to a turbulent changes?
Transition point
What you can say about the turbulent boundry layer
=> greater thickness because the oscillating particles incorporate more outside air into the boundary layer
=> a sharper speed change near the surface
=> higher speed = higher skin friction drag
Where is the max. speed reached? (boundry layer)
at the obstacle's thickness
Form drag
Airflow separaion occurs, when the lower levels of the boundary layer do not have sufficient kinetic energy and the static pressure along the flow increases
=> Form drag = the airflow separates, it is much higher than friction drag
Profile Drag
D Profil = Dform + Dskin friction
Do its lower kinetic energy, the airflow seperates more easily than by a xy boundry layer
turbulent
Average chord
or mean geometric chord => geometric average of tip chord and root chord
A swept back wimh has a higher CL towards its tips. a rectangualr wing?
A rectangular wing has its highest CL at the root
For an aircraft flying at a constant IAS
the drag will be the same at altitude as at sea level
Which of the following will reduce induced drag?
Elliptical lift distribution.
perpendicular
rechtwinklig
If the landing gear is lowered
total drag increases, and Vmd decreases
The relationship between induced drag and the aspect ratio is:
a decrease in the aspect ratio increases the induced drag.
The induced angle of attack is the result of:
downwash due to tip vortices.
Which statement concerning the local flow pattern around a wing is correct?
By fitting winglets to the wing tip, the strength of the wing tip vortices is reduced which in turn reduces induced drag.
Wing tip vortices cause
downwash behind the wing and an upwash outside the wing tips
the magnitude
die Grösse
The induced drag:
ncreases as the lift coefficient increases.
At high altitudes, what happens with the AOA ?
high altitudes the TAS is greater => this leads to a smaller AOA
Aerodynaic centre A.C. of the aerofoil
or neutral point of the aerofoil => the increasing lift is compensated by the shorter moment arm ==> C.G. would be ahead of the wings aerodynamic centre = moment is negative => aeroplane static longitudinal stability
Static Directional Stability => wind comes from right, hat happens
a yawing moment to the right should be created which tends to return the nose into the relative wind
Which one is teh critical engine by a 2 piston aircraft?
the left. because a clockwise rotating propeller creates more thrust at its right hand side with the down going blade => a greater yawing moment is produced when the eft engine fails
WIth a turbofan ngines have no critical engine except the outher ones at a 4-engined aeroplane. By a crosswind T/O which one is the critical one?
the engine one on the windward side is the critical engine
3 options how to fly after an engine failure (small aircraft)
1.=> keeping the wings level => Rudder + aileron towards good engine=> The ball is centered => sideslip greates a large amount of drag
2. bank towards the good engine => ONLY AILERON => Rudder neutral => sideslip greates a large amount of drag
3. slighz bank and moderate rudder towards goo engine => straight ahead with minimum drag => no sideslip
=> minimum drag, no sideslip ====> the ball of the turn and slip indicator is not centered, but there is no sideslop => Bank angle max. 5 degrees
how to fly after engine failure big aircraft
a) larger power surplus
b) jet aeroplanes is linked with spoiler deflection which increases drag
=> then rudder is applied to teh side of teh operating engine which keeps aileron input at almost zero with the spoilers retracted => sideslip towards the side with the dad engine
VMCG
Minimum controlled speed on the ground => Flaps T/O
VMCA
Minimum controlled speed in the air => Flaps T/O, Gear up
VMCL
Minimum controlled speed for landing
Why is an aft, why a forward C.G. limit established?
aft: stability fwd: controllability
