- Q8Which of the following is a type of drag that is caused by the interaction between the wingtip vortices and the airflow?Form dragParasitic dragThrust dragInduced drag30s
- Q9What is the aircraft boundary layer?A thin layer of air that flows over the surface of an aircraftThe space between the wings of an aircraftThe outermost layer of an aircraft's structureA layer of clouds formed around an aircraft30s
- Q10What is the boundary layer separation on an aircraft wing?When the wing becomes misaligned during flightThe point where the aircraft takes offThe layer of paint applied to the wing's surfaceThe area where the wing connects to the fuselageWhen the airflow detaches from the wing's surface30s
- Q11What is the effect of a turbulent boundary layer on aircraft performance?Enhanced lift and decreased dragNo effect on aircraft performanceIncreased drag and decreased liftReduced fuel consumption and increased stability30s
- Q12What is laminar flow in the context of the aircraft boundary layer?Turbulent and chaotic airflow near the aircraft's surfaceThe layer of clouds formed around an aircraftThe speed of the aircraftSmooth and undisturbed airflow near the aircraft's surface30s
- Q13What is the purpose of boundary layer thickness on aircraft wings?To improve the visibility of the aircraftTo decrease the stability of the aircraftTo reduce drag caused by the surface frictionTo increase the lift generated by the wings30s
- Q14What is the boundary layer transition on an aircraft wing?When the wing becomes misaligned during flightThe point where the aircraft takes offThe area where the wing connects to the fuselageThe point at which the airflow changes from laminar to turbulent30s
- Q15What is the purpose of wing fences on an aircraft?To improve the visibility of the aircraftTo enhance the stability of the aircraftTo provide additional storage space in the wingsTo control airflow and reduce wingtip vorticesTo increase the fuel efficiency of the aircraft30s
