By changing the angle of attack of a wing, a pilot can control the airplane’s:

Lift and airspeed, but not drag

Which of these things affects the stall speed?

The location of the center of gravity

Stall speed is affected by:

Load factor, angle of attack, and power

The angle of attack, weight, and air density

The angle of attack, load factor, and air density

An airplane leaving ground effect will:

Experience an increase in induced drag and require more thrust.

Experience a reduction in ground friction and requires a slight power reduction.

Requires a lower angle of attack to maintain the same lift coefficient.

What happens when the load factor is zero?

All occupants feel the heaviest.

What happens as the airplane goes beyond the critical Mach number?

There is a sudden decrease in the drag coefficient.

The drag coefficient increases to the highest.

The drag coefficient drops down to zero.

There is a sudden increase in the drag coefficient.
