2.

Which of these is odd?
- Weather conditions
- Airport operation
- Flight regulations
- Soil Chemistry
Correct Answer

A. Soil Chemistry

Explanation

Soil Chemistry is the odd one out because it is the only option that is not related to the field of aviation or weather. The other options, such as Weather conditions, Airport operation, and Flight regulations, all pertain to aviation and are interconnected in some way. However, Soil Chemistry is unrelated to these topics and is more related to the field of agriculture or environmental sciences.

What is the purpose of wing flaps?
- To prevent crash
- For easy flight
- To take off at low speed
- To take off at high speed
Correct Answer

A. To take off at low speed

Explanation

Wing flaps are used to increase the lift and decrease the stall speed of an aircraft during takeoff and landing. By extending the flaps, the camber of the wing is increased, creating more lift at slower speeds. This allows the aircraft to take off and land at lower speeds, making it safer and more efficient.

The term 'angle of attack' is determined by the chord of the wing. The chord is an imaginary straight line that connects the leading edge to the trailing edge of the wing. The angle of attack refers to the angle between the chord line and the oncoming airflow. It is an important parameter as it affects the lift and drag forces acting on the wing, which in turn affect the aircraft's performance and stability.
