Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The rate at which temperature decreases with an increase in altitude.






2. The flat surfaces located behind the center of gravity tend to weathervane with the wind.






3. The ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces.






4. The written text of a play - film - or broadcast.






5. A rear vertical stabilizer that controls side- to- side or yawing motion of the aircraft nose.






6. Aircraft speeds between Mach 1 and 5.






7. A structure that creates up and down forces at the tail to keep the fuselage aligned in pitch with the relative wind. The structure itself is horizontal while the forces it creates are vertical.






8. Robotic aircraft - used extensively by the military.






9. The relationship between the length and width of a wing.






10. A short - easily- remembered slogan - verse - or tune.






11. Houses the cabin - the cockpit and is a common attachment point for the other major components.






12. An advertising film which promotes a product in an informative and supposedly objective style.






13. The last point on an airfoil that interacts with the airflow around the wing.






14. A sequence of drawings representing the shots planned for a film or television production.






15. A type of aircraft deriving both lift and propulsion from one or two sets of horizontally revolving rotors.






16. To set or thrust in motion.






17. A powered - aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator - uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift - can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely - can be expendable or recoverable - and can carry a lethal or nonlethal payload.






18. The movement about the vertical axis produced by the rudder and controlled by pedals.






19. The tail assembly of an aircraft - including the horizontal and vertical stabilizers - elevators and rudder.






20. Motion around the lateral axis caused by deflection in the elevator controlled by moving the yoke forward and aft.






21. An aircraft with floats or skis instead of wheels - designed to land on and take off from water.






22. A force caused by the gravitational attraction of the Earth.






23. Aircraft speeds between Mach 5 and 10.






24. A short - memorable phrase used in advertising or associated with a political party or group.






25. Caused by the separation of airflow from the wing's upper surface resulting in a rapid decrease in lift.






26. Control surfaces attached to the trailing edge of the wing extending outward from the fuselage to the midpoint of each wing. Flaps can increase the lifting efficiency of the wing and decrease stall speed.






27. Mach. A decimal number representing the true airspeed relationship to the local speed of sound.






28. Aircraft stability is the characteristic of an airplane in flight that causes it to return to a condition of equilibrium - or steady flight - after it is disturbed.






29. The distance from wing tip to wing tip of a wing planform.






30. A reduction in the chord of a wing as measured from the root to the tip of the wing.






31. A vehicle - missile - or aircraft which obtains thrust by the reaction to the ejection of fast moving exhaust from within a rocket engine.






32. The capability of an aircraft to respond to your flight inputs - especially with regard to attitude and flight path.






33. The study of forces and the resulting motion of objects through the air.






34. The space in the fuselage of a small airplane containing seats for the pilot - copilot - and sometimes passengers.






35. Hinged main surface part that help control banking for a turn






36. An aircraft that is designed to fly without an engine.






37. A large bag filled with hot air or gas to make it rise in the air - with a basket for passengers hanging from it.






38. Generates the lifting force that helps the airplane fly when air flows around it.






39. The force that created by the effect of airflow as it passes over and under the wing.






40. A power- driven aircraft kept buoyant by a body of gas (usually helium) which is lighter than air.






41. A thin layer of air next to the surface of an airfoil which shows a reduction in speed due to the air's viscosity.






42. The outline shape of a wing when viewed from above.






43. Forces and moments on the body caused by a disturbance tend initially to return the body toward its equilibrium position.






44. Out of its own accord - an aircraft eventually returns to and remains at its equilibrium position over a period of time.






45. A rear horizontal stabilizer that controls up and down or pitching motion of the aircraft nose.






46. The common reference point for the three axes of the aircraft.






47. A glider designed for sustained flight.






48. A powered heavier- than - air aircraft with fixed wings from which the aircraft derives most of its lift.






49. The study or practice of travel through the air.






50. A built in twist in the wing so that the trailing edge at the wingtip is raised (Wash out) or lowered (Wash in). This significantly affects the slow flight and stall characteristics of the wing.
