If a seaplane needs to be designed then, which of the following could be considered as an application of the seaplane?

Search and rescue mission

Low value of wing loading

Can be operated for every wave size in sea

Ratio of weight to reference area is minimum among the other types of aircraft

Correct Answer : Search and rescue mission

Explanation : A typical seaplane can land and takeoff through water only. If we were given the task to design a seaplane then, one of the most applicable use of such plane would be for search and rescue. In fact, seaplanes are being used for such tasks. However, seaplanes cannot be used for every size of wave.

Hydraulic system affect conceptual design based on ______

lift required at tail

space for control surface

hydraulic pump space requirements

secondary control surface

Correct Answer : Option (C) : hydraulic pump space requirements

Explanation : A typical hydraulic system will affect conceptual design based on space requirements for pumps typically. Control surface are located at the wing or at tail section. Lift required at tail will be affected by which type of airfoil is used.

Following diagram represents _______

fuel tank location

simplified hydraulic system

pneumatic subsystem

wing loading diagram

Correct Answer : Option (B) : simplified hydraulic system

Explaination : A typical hydraulic system is shown. A simplified hydraulic system can be observed in the diagram. As shown in the diagram a simplified hydraulic system includes actuators, feed lines etc. Fuel tank can be located in fuselage, in wing or in tail.

A typical electrical system may include _____

only generator

only transformers

drag polar system

generators, transformers, cables, etc

Correct Answer : Option (D) : generators, transformers, cables, etc

Explanation : A typical electrical system consists of generators, transformers, cables etc. It is used to provide electrical energy. Drag polar is graphical representation of drag. It is used to show relationship between drag and lift.
