The tangent of glide angle is ________

A)
equal to thrust
B)
inverse of thrust
C)
lift to drag ratio
D)
equal to drag to lift ratio

Correct Answer :   equal to drag to lift ratio

Explanation : The tangent of glide angle is equal to the drag to lift ratio. Lift to drag ratio is called aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft. Tangent of Glide angle is inverse of the Aerodynamic efficiency or inverse of the lift to drag ratio.

If stall speed is 120 knots then, find average velocity at flare.
A)
110.25
B)
125.4
C)
137.5
D)
147.6

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   147.6

Explanation : Average velocity at Flare = 1.23*stall speed = 1.23*120 = 147.6 knots.

Find the approach speed for military aircraft. Considered stall speed is 22unit.
A)
12 ft
B)
20 m
C)
26.4 unit
D)
45 unit

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   26.4 unit

Explanation : For military aircraft, Approach speed = 1.2*stall speed = 1.2*22 = 26.4 unit.

For military aircraft touchdown speed is 100 knots then, approximate value of stall speed.
A)
90.90
B)
100
C)
200
D)
223

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   90.90

Explanation : Stall speed = touchdown speed/1.1 = 100/1.1 = 90.90.
