Stall speed is defined as the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.
What wings does the Boeing 737-800 use?
What wings does the Boeing 737-800 use?
Swept back wings
What is an FMA used for?
What is an FMA used for?
Bright yellow lights will light up in the cockpit.
What is the typical range of an NDB?
What is the typical range of an NDB?
Average range over land 20 - 25 miles.
Range for an NDB can be calculated with:
2√power output in Watts = Range (Land) 3√ power output in Watts = Range (Water)
What is anhedral?
What is anhedral?
Downward inclination of a wing from the root to the tip.
What is a yaw damper?
What is a yaw damper?
Boots on the leading edges inflate (6 seconds) to break the ice dissipating it into the airflow.
Powered by the gyro pressure system.
Why does a swept wing increase Mcrit?
Why does a swept wing increase Mcrit?
A swept wing makes the velocity vector normal to the leading edge a shorter distance than the chordwise resultant.
Why is anhedral used instead on some aircraft?
Why is anhedral used instead on some aircraft?
Anhedral:
compensates for the wing sweep improves roll maneuverability
What are the advantages of swept wings?
What are the advantages of swept wings?
Swept wings are:
Better for high speed flight as they have minimal camber and thickness reduce drag and delay Mcrit More stable in turbulence as they produce less lift and as a result they are less responsive to updraughts
