Covers the Learn material from Module 3: Week 3 — Module 4: Week 4.
1. As altitude increases, power available from a turboprop engine:
2. (Reference Figure 6.30) Using Figure 6.30, find the velocity for maximum endurance for the
airplane at 12,000 lbs.
3. A total drag curve can also be considered a _____ curve for the given aircraft to maintain level
flight.
4. An example of a power-producing aircraft is a
5. For a power producing aircraft, maximum range occurs at ( / )max.L D
6. 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.
7. Propeller aircraft perform worse than turbojets in the low-speed region.
8. Changing the weight of an aircraft changes the ______________ much more than the
9. A turboprop engine
10. Which of the following words should never be used in the discussion of jet aircraft?
11. Calculate the horsepower required ( r) for a propeller-driven aircraft given the followingP
information: Total Drag = 1058 lbs. k = 125 ktsV
12. Maximum rate of climb for a jet airplane occurs at
13. To obtain maximum range for a thrust producing aircraft, as fuel is burned
14. Endurance is _____________ proportional to fuel ow.
15. Which of the following altitudes is most for a turboprop aircraft?efficient
16. Regarding a propeller-driven aircraft, the Pr
curve is flatter in the low-speed region than the r curve, which explains why propeller aircraftT
perform better than turbojets in the low speed region.
17. Increasing the weight of a thrust producing aircraft also increases the value of ( / )max.L D
