The main components of lift are: — Pressure differential and air velocity 2. Bernoulli’s principle explains: — Increase in velocity — decrease in pressure 3. Angle of attack is measured between: — Chord line and relative airflow 4. Increasing angle of attack increases: — Lift coefficient (until stall) 5. The lift coefficient (CL) increases with: — Angle of attack 6. The center of pressure moves forward when: — Angle of attack increases 7. Stall occurs when: = Critical angle of attack is exceeded 8. Critical angle of attack for typical airfoil is: — About 15° 9. Flow separation causes: — Loss of lift 10. Vortex generators are used to: — Energize boundary layer, delay separation 11. Parasite drag increases with: — Square of airspeed 12. Induced drag is higher at: — Low speeds 13. Aspect ratio is defined as: — Wingspan? = wing area 14. Higher aspect ratio wing has: — Lower induced drag 15. Lift depends on: — Wing area and airspeed 16. Stall warning devices activate at: — AOA near critical 17. Wing loading is: — Aircraft weight + wing area 18. A higher wing loading leads to: — Higher stall speed 19. Thicker airfoil can delay: — Flow separation 20. Washout is used to: — Prevent tip stall 21. Boundary layer starts as: — Laminar 22. Transition to turbulent occurs due to: — Increase in Reynolds number 23.
