Billy Mitchell Aerospace Exam Questions and Answers 100% Pass aero - Answer - pertaining to air aerodynamics - Answer - relating to the forces of air in motion aeronautics - Answer - the science of flight within the atmosphere aerospace - Answer - a combination of aeronautics and space air - Answer - a mixture of gases that contains approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other gases aircraft - Answer - any machine that is capable of flying through the air; included are ultralights, airplanes, gliders, balloons, helicopters, hangliders, and parasails airplane - Answer - an aircraft that is kept aloft by the aerodynamic forces upon its wings and is thrust forward by a means of propulsion airfoil - Answer - a component, such as a wing, that is specifically designed to produce lift, thrust, or directional stability airport - Answer - a place on either land or water where aircraft can land and take off for flight altitude - Answer - height above sea level or ground level expressed in units aviation - Answer - the art, science, and technology of flight within the atmosphere aviator - Answer - a person who operates an aircraft in flight camber - Answer - the curved part of an airfoil from its leading to trailing edge chord - Answer - a line drawn through an airfoil from its leading to trailing edge downwash - Answer - the downward movement of air behind a wing in flight drag - Answer - a force which slows the forward movement of an aircraft in flight dynamic - Answer - forces in motion gravity - Answer - the natural force pulling everything to Earth leading edge - Answer - the front part of a wing or airfoil lift - Answer - the upward force that opposes gravity and supports the weight of an aircraft relative wind - Answer - the flow of air which moves opposite the flight path of an airplane thrust - Answer - the force which moves an aircraft forward in flight upwash - Answer - the upward movement of air ahead of the wing in flight vortex - Answer - a spinning column of air that is created behind the wingtip as a result of air moving from an area of high pressure on the bottom to an area of low pressure wind - Answer - Air in motion 1299 AD / Marco Polo - Answer - Who saw Chinese sailors attached to kites being used as military observers? Chinese sailors attached to kites - Answer - What could be considered the first "manned aircraft"? Montgolfier brothers - Answer - Who created the first manned hot air balloon? Newton's First Law of Motion - Answer - An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced, outside force Newton's Second Law of Motion - Answer - A force acting upon a body causes it to accelerate in direction of the force. Acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the body being accelerated. Newton's Third Law of Motion - Answer - For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Yoke - Answer - another name for the control stick Lateral Axis - Answer - controls pitch Lift, gravity, thrust, drag - Answer - What are the four forces of an airplane? gravity, drag - Answer - The two natural forces thrust, lift - Answer - The artificial forces Vertical Axis - Answer - controls yaw Longitudinal Axis - Answer - controls roll Roll - Answer - rotation on the longitudinal axis Yaw - Answer - rotation on the vertical axis Pitch - Answer - rotation on the lateral axis UAV - Answer - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle altitude - Answer - the height or distance above a reference plane convection - Answer - fluid motion between regions of unequal heating density - Answer - mass in a given volume glide ratio - Answer - a mathematical relationship between the distance an aircraft will glide forward to the altitude loss lapse rate - Answer - the average rate at which temperature decreases with an increase in altitude
