Covers the Learn material from Module 3: Week 3 — Module 4: Week 4.
- As altitude increases, power available from a turboprop engine:
- (Reference Figure 6.30) Using Figure 6.30, find the velocity for maximum endurance for the airplane at 12,000 lbs.
- A total drag curve can also be considered a _____ curve for the given aircraft to maintain level flight.
- An example of a power-producing aircraft is a
- For a power producing aircraft, maximum range occurs at (L/D)max.
- As an aircraft climbs in altitude, the drag of the aircraft is unaffected by altitude, but the true airspeed at which the drag occurs decreases as altitude increases.
- Propeller aircraft perform worse than turbojets in the low-speed region.
- Changing the weight of an aircraft changes the ______________ much more than the
- A turboprop engine
- Which of the following words should never be used in the discussion of jet aircraft?
- Calculate the horsepower required (Pr) for a propeller-driven aircraft given the following information: Total Drag = 1058 lbs.Vk = 125 kts
- Maximum rate of climb for a jet airplane occurs at
- To obtain maximum range for a thrust producing aircraft, as fuel is burned
- Endurance is _____________ proportional to fuel ow.
- Which of the following altitudes is most efficient for a turboprop aircraft?
- Regarding a propeller-driven aircraft, the Pr
curve is flatter in the low-speed region than the Tr curve, which explains why propeller aircraft perform better than turbojets in the low speed region. - Increasing the weight of a thrust producing aircraft also increases the value of (L/D)max.
- Using Figure 6.17, what is the rate of climb (fpm) of the aircraft given the following conditions:
100% RPM TAS = 450 kts Aircraft Weight = 10 000 lbs. - The thrust available from a jet engine at 35 000 ft. altitude compared to that at sea level is:
- In a turbojet, if Ta is constant, then Tr (drag) minimum is located at
- Turboprop aircraft are classified as power producers because
- Increasing the weight of a thrust producing aircraft moves all points on the thrust required curve
- Calculate the horsepower required (Pr) for a propeller-driven aircraft given the following information: Total Drag = 1020 lbs. Vk = 172 kts
- The power-required curves for an increase in altitude show that the
- Which horsepower is the usable horsepower for reciprocating engines?
- Using Figure 7.26, what is the rate of climb for your propeller-driven aircraft given the following set of conditions: Airspeed = VS(110 kts) Weight = 30 000 lbs. Pa = 3000 hp
- A lightly loaded propeller airplane will be able to glide ____________ when it is heavily loaded.
- The turboprop aircraft has its lowest specific fuel consumption at about 25,000 feet altitude because
- According to Figure 6.10, a jet engine set at 90% maximum RPM will generate approximately what % maximum thrust?
- An engine where the fuel-air mixture is forced into the cylinders by natural atmospheric pressure upon opening of the inlet valves.
