Find the ratio of weight to length of the turboprop engine which has bhp of 3000.

60.1206

60.012

60.12

12.60

Correct Answer : 12.60

Explanation : Given, bhp = 3000.
Now, ratio of weight to length is given by,
W/L = 0.403*(bhp)^0.43 = 0.403*3000^0.43 = 12.60.

What is the disadvantage of bladder fuel tank?

Self sealing

Thrust loading

Loss of available fuel volume

No loss in fuel volume

Correct Answer : Option (C) : Loss of available fuel volume

Explanation : A typical bladder tank is formed by stuffing a shaped rubber bag into a cavity in the aircraft structure. However, the thick rubber bag results in the kids of available fuel volume. Self-sealing property is one of the advantages of the bladder tank. Thrust loading is the ratio of thrust to weight.
