A path from the liquid oxygen probes to the quantity indicator on the F-16 is provided by
-
Coaxial cables
-
Oxygen probes
-
The oxygen quantity relay
-
The oxygen low-pressure switch
Correct Answer
A. Coaxial cablesExplanation
Coaxial cables provide a path from the liquid oxygen probes to the quantity indicator on the F-16. These cables are commonly used in electronic systems to transmit signals with high frequency and low loss. In this case, the coaxial cables are used to transmit the information from the liquid oxygen probes, which measure the quantity of oxygen, to the quantity indicator on the F-16. This allows the pilot or operator to monitor the oxygen levels in the aircraft. The other options mentioned, such as oxygen probes, the oxygen quantity relay, and the oxygen low-pressure switch, may be components or devices related to the oxygen system but they do not directly provide the path for the information to reach the quantity indicator.Rate this question:

The compression ratio of the RQ-1 Rotax 914F engine is.....
-
4.0:1
-
6.0:1
-
8.0:1
-
9.0:1
Correct Answer
A. 9.0:1Explanation
The compression ratio of the RQ-1 Rotax 914F engine is 9.0:1. The compression ratio refers to the ratio of the volume of the cylinder when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke to the volume when the piston is at the top of its stroke. A higher compression ratio indicates that the air-fuel mixture is compressed to a smaller volume, resulting in a more efficient combustion process. In the case of the Rotax 914F engine, a compression ratio of 9.0:1 means that the air-fuel mixture is compressed to 1/9th of its original volume before ignition, leading to improved engine performance and fuel efficiency.Rate this question:

A. Rotating DiscsExplanation
Rotating discs in the F-16's brake assembly are keyed on their outside diameters to the wheel. This means that the rotating discs have grooves or notches on their outer edges that match with corresponding grooves or notches on the wheel. This keying mechanism ensures that the rotating discs are securely attached to the wheel and can rotate together, allowing the brakes to function effectively.Rate this question:
