AMT GENERAL

The elevators of a conventional airplane are used to provide rotation about the

• lateral axis

• . vertical axis

An airplane is controlled directionally about its vertical axis by the

• Flaps

• Rudder

If the control stick of an aircraft with properly rigged flight controls is moved rearward and to the left the right aileron will move

• down and the elevator will move up

• up and the elevator will move up

The chord of a wing is measured from

• leading edge to trailing edge

• wingtip to wingtip

The purpose of the vertical fin is to provide

• lateral stability

• directional stability

• longitudinal stability

The stresses that act on an aircraft are

• compression, tension , torsion , bending , shear

• compression, tension, torsion combustion, ignition

• compressing, bending, shearing, shoring, mooring

The acute angle formed by the chord line of a wing and the relative wind is known as the

• Angle of incidence

• angle of attack

• longitudinal dihedral angleS

When the lift of an airfoil increases the drag will:

• Decrease

• Increase

• increase while the lift is changing but will return to its original value

The purpose of wing slats is to

• decrease drag

• reduce stalling speed

• increase lift

What is the smallest size cable that may be used in aircraft primary control system

• 1/8

• 1/16

• 3/32
