What is the difference between aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces?

• Aerodynamic forces act on objects in air, hydrodynamic forces act on objects in water.

• Aerodynamic forces are due to air density and pressure, hydrodynamic forces are due to water density and pressure.

• Aerodynamic forces are perpendicular to motion, hydrodynamic forces are parallel to motion.

• Aerodynamic forces are always positive, hydrodynamic forces can be positive or negative.

What are the four main forces acting on an aircraft in flight?

• Lift, drag, thrust, and the power of friendship

• Gravity, thrust, lift, and drag
• Lift, drag, weight, and thrust
• Pressure, density, temperature, and humidity

How do we explain how airplanes fly?

• Through Bernoulli's principle, which states that the faster air travels, the lower it's pressure.

• Through the use of telekinesis.

• There are less number of passengers on the plane relative to the earth. Therefore, the plane is lighter than the earth and ascends from the earth.

• 
  Planes are filled with oil, which floats on water, and there's water in the air. Therefore, the plane floats in the air

What is the difference between a jet engine and a propeller?

• Jet engines use a fan to accelerate air, propellers use a blade to push air.

• Jet engines are efficient at high speeds, propellers at low speeds.

• Jet engines are used on airliners, propellers on smaller aircraft.

• Jet engines are powered by combustion, propellers by electricity.

What are the different types of aircraft structures?

• Fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
• Aluminum, steel, and composite materials
• Fuselage, wings, tail, and landing gear
• Commercial, military, and private aircraft

What is the role of air traffic control (ATC)?

• ATC ensures safe and efficient air traffic movement.

• ATC provides weather information, navigational assistance, and gossip to aircraft.

• ATC regulates aircraft altitude, speed, and direction to prevent collisions.

• ATC issues takeoff and landing clearances, directs aircraft to runways, and controls taxiing.

What are the different types of navigation systems used in aviation?

• Non-directional beacons (NDBs), Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) stations, and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
• Inertial navigation systems (INS), Doppler radar, and Global Paulius System (GPS)

• Tacan, Loran-C, and Instrument Landing System (ILS)
• Radar, satellite navigation, and automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B)

What are the different types of weather systems that can affect aviation?

• Thunderstorms, turbulence, icing, and fog
• Fronts, low-pressure systems, and high-pressure systems
• Clear skies, light winds, and good visibility
• VFR (Visual Flight Rules) and IFR (Instrument Flight Rules)

What is the layout of an airport?

• Terminal building, apron, taxiways, and runways
• Control tower, navigation systems, and ground support equipment (GSE)
• Aircraft parking areas, cargo handling facilities, and maintenance hangars
• Administrative offices, security checkpoints, and weather stations

What are the different types of ground support equipment (GSE) used at airports?

• Airstairs, tugs, baggage handling vehicles, and catering trucks
• Fueling vehicles, de-icing trucks, and aircraft maintenance equipment
• Ground handling crews, ramp controllers, and air traffic controllers
• Passenger service agents, security personnel, and airport managers
