Definition
thrust, drag, weight, lift
Term

Relative Wind
Term

Definition
incidence angle
Term

 A ______ is a basic maneuver in which the aircraft loses altitude in a controlled descent with little or no engine power; forward motion is maintained by gravity pulling the aircraft along an inclined path, and the descent rate is controlled by the aviator balancing the forces of gravity and lift.

 

Definition
glide
Term

With a _______, the aircraft glides farther because of the higher groundspeed; with a ______, the aircraft does not glide as far because of the slower groundspeed.

 

Definition
tailwind, headwind
Term
True or False.Variations in weight do not affect the glide angle provided the aviator uses the correct airspeed.
Definition
TRUE,Since it is the lift over drag (L/D) ratio that determines the distance the aircraft can glide, weight does not affect the distance.
Term
TRUE or FALSE. The glide ratio is based only on the relationship of the aerodynamic forces acting on the aircraft. The only effect weight has is to vary the time the aircraft glides. The heavier the aircraft the higher the airspeed must be to obtain the same glide ratio.
Definition
TRUE
Term
TRUE or FALSE:If two aircraft having the same L/D ratio, but different weights, start a glide from the same altitude, the heavier aircraft gliding at a higher airspeed arrives at the same touchdown point in a shorter time. Both aircraft cover the same distance, but the lighter aircraft takes a longer time.
Definition
TRUE
Term
The best speed for the glide is one at which the aircraft travels the greatest forward distance for a given loss of altitude in still air. This ___________ corresponds to an attack angle resulting in the least drag on the aircraft and giving the best lift-to-drag ratio (L/Dmax).
Definition
Best Glide Speed
Term

IAW FM 3-04.203 Fundamentals of Flight, there are 2 types of pressure associated with fluid/air flow.  What are the 2 types of pressure?

Term
Knowledge of relative wind is essential for an understanding of aerodynamics and its practical flight application for the aviator.  Define relative wind.
Definition

Relative wind is the airflow relative to an airfoil.  Movement of an airfoil through the air creates relative wind.  Relative winds moves in a parallel but opposite direction to movement of the airfoil.

 

Term
____________________ is the angle between the airfoil chord line and resultant relative wind.
Definition
Angle of attack
Term
The ________________________ pressure differential on the upper and lower surfaces produces about 75% of the aerodynamic force, called lift.
Definition
Static
Term
The remaining 25% of lift is produced as a result of ______________________ from the downward deflection of air as it leaves the trailing edge of the airfoil and by the downward defection of air impacting the exposed lower surface of the airfoil.
