Pre-test, Part 1 Master - Quiz

INSTRUCTIONS: Answer the questions to the best of your ability. Do not put “IDK” if you do not know an answer, instead answer it to the best of your ability. You will get $2 or more per question that you answer correctly, $1 for every... see morequestion that you try to answer but don’t have the correct answer, and you will get $0 if you do not try to answer the question or if you put something silly down. These are similar to the questions that you had on your semester pre-test. see less

2. Looking at the diagram, what action does the aircraft do when it rotates around axis # 2. WORD BANK:  Yaw      Pitch       Roll** Must be spelled correctly.  If not, it will be counted as WRONG. 

Explanation

The aircraft rolls LEFT or RIGHT by using the ailerons.

Submit
3. Looking at the diagram, what action does the aircraft do when it rotates around axis # 3. WORD BANK:  Yaw      Pitch       Roll** Must be spelled correctly.  If not, it will be counted as WRONG.

Explanation

The aircraft turns LEFT or RIGHT by using the rudder.

Submit
4. There is breathable oxygen in space.

Explanation

There is no breathable air in space - thus astronauts have to wear space suits with oxygen.

Submit
5.  Hot air is less dense than cold air, which is how balloons filled with hot air can fly.

Explanation

Submit
6. What are the three (3) MAIN types of aerospace engines.  (Not the different kinds of each one)

Explanation

The three MAIN types are: Reciprocating, Jet (or Turbine), and Rockets. All others are different kinds of the three main types.

Submit
7. Which of the Four Forces of Flight pushes / pulls the aircraft through the air?

Explanation

Thrust is what pushes / pulls the aircraft through the air?

Submit
8. This reciprocating engine pictured gets its' name from what math/geometry principle?

Explanation

The engine's pistons are the RADI of the circle and gets its name from the RADIUS.

Submit
9.  Of all the wing shapes, the best geometry shape for slow flight is:

Explanation

Straight Wing- Constant Chord - which the Wright Brothers used, is the best wing shape for slow flight.

Submit
10. Which of the Four Forces of Flight is not constant and tries to pull the aircraft to the earth?

Explanation

Weight (or Gravity) is not constant and tries to pull the aircraft to the earth.

Submit
11. Which of the Four Forces of Flight tries to pull the aircraft backward and slows the aircraft through the air?

Explanation

Drag tries to pull the aircraft backward and slows the aircraft through the air.

Submit
12. The hot air balloon that made the first manned ascent was designed by

Explanation

the Montgolfier brothers designed the balloon, Marquis Francois d'Arlandes and Pilatre d'Rozier rode in it.

Submit
13. Which engine does not require atmospheric air?

Explanation

Rockets do not require atmospheric air because they carry an oxidizer onboard the spaceship.

Submit
14.  Of all the wing shapes, the best geometry shape for fast flight is:

Explanation

Straight Wing- Constant Chord - which the Wright Brothers used, is the best wing shape for slow flight.

Submit
15. Bernoulli's Principle states:

Explanation

As the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases.

Submit
16. In this picture, what does the number 27 on the runway represent?

Explanation

Runway headings are measured every 10° as the compass reads, so the picture represents 270° magnetic North

Submit
17. Air, while made up of different gasses, has the movement properties of a

Explanation

Air - indeed all gasses - have the movement properties of a FLUID.

Submit
18. Which of the Four Forces of Flight is an aerodynamic force created by the shape of the airfoil?

Explanation

Lift is created by the shape of the airfoil and generated by the forward motion of the aircraft.

Submit
19. Match the following
Submit
20. Name the three axis of the aircraft

Explanation

Lateral is wingtip-to-wingtip, Longitudinal is nose-to-tail, and Vertical is top-to-bottom
