In general, as the angel of attack (AOA) of an airfoil increases, what two forces also increase?
Lift and drag
, A helicopter is a type of _____ aircraft.
rotary-wing

Air density
What is used to measure distance of a radio wavelength?
Two adjacent points on the wave
What is the purpose of a datalink?
Establish reliable communications between the UAV and GCS
What is refraction?
Bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another, due to a change in their speed
How does Line of Sight (LOS) and Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) differ?
