What is - diagram in context to flight operation? Draw a typical - diagram and explain.
Explain how sweepback makes aircraft directionally stable.
Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner have maximum takeoff weight of 2,27,930 kg, maximum lift co-efficient during takeoff, wing span 60.17 m, wing area 377 m, power plant (thrust) kN, wing height (when the airplane is on the ground) = 5.94 m, parasite drag co-efficient 0.027 and Oswald efficiency factor 0.771. Assume a paved runway where . Determine minimum length of the runway required for takeoff Boeing 787-8 aircraft.
What is static stability margin? What are the setbacks of large static stability margin?
How the "down wash" affect the airplane performance?
Write short notes (any three) of the following:
(i) Swept wing
(ii) Dutch roll
(iii) Keel surface
What is static stability margin? What are the setbacks of large static stability margin?
Discuss briefly the function of different airplane control surfaces with neat sketches.
Explain the effect of downwash on the local flow over a local airfoil section of a finite wing using necessary sketches.
