What is the evolution of flight technology and how has it changed over time?

• The evolution of flight technology has remained stagnant and unchanged over time

• The evolution of flight technology has progressed from early attempts at gliding to the development of powered aircraft, and eventually to the creation of modern jets and commercial airliners.

• Flight technology has regressed from modern jets to early attempts at gliding

• The evolution of flight technology has only led to the creation of hot air balloons

What is Tinker cad and how is it used in the field of flight technology?

• Tinker cad is a music streaming platform used by pilots during flights.

• Tinker cad is a cooking app used to create recipes for in-flight meals.

• Tinker cad is a language translation tool used to communicate with air traffic control.

• Tinker cad is a 3D design and modeling tool used to create and simulate aircraft designs.

What is the center of gravity and why is it important in aviation?

• The center of gravity is the point where the entire weight of an object is considered to act. In aviation, it is important for determining the color of the aircraft.

• The center of gravity is the point where the entire weight of an object is considered to act. In aviation, it is important for controlling the temperature inside the aircraft.

• The center of gravity is the point where the entire weight of an object is considered to act. In aviation, it is important for choosing the music played during flights.

• The center of gravity is the point where the entire weight of an object is considered to act. In aviation, it is important for maintaining stability and control of the aircraft.

What is the difference between a symmetrical and a cambered airfoil?

• The symmetrical airfoil has a curved shape on the top and a flatter shape on the bottom, while the cambered airfoil has the same shape on the top and bottom.

• The symmetrical airfoil has a concave shape on the top and a convex shape on the bottom, while the cambered airfoil has a convex shape on the top and a concave shape on the bottom.

• The symmetrical airfoil has a flatter shape on the top and a curved shape on the bottom, while the cambered airfoil has a different shape on the top and bottom.

• The symmetrical airfoil has the same shape on the top and bottom, while the cambered airfoil has a curved shape on the top and a flatter shape on the bottom.

Name the horizontal and vertical components of an empennage.

• Horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer

• Wing and fuselage

• Elevator and rudder

• Left stabilizer and right stabilizer

How has flight technology evolved from the early days of aviation to the present day?

• Flight technology has evolved with advancements in propulsion, aerodynamics, and navigation systems.

• Flight technology has remained the same since the early days of aviation

• Flight technology has evolved due to advancements in cooking techniques

• Flight technology has evolved because of changes in fashion trends

How can Tinker cad be used to design and simulate aircraft components?

• By using its 2D drawing tools to sketch the components

• By using its music composition features to create aircraft sounds

• By using its 3D modeling and simulation tools to create and test the components virtually.

• By using its word processing tools to write about aircraft components

Why is it important for an aircraft to maintain a stable center of gravity during flight?

• To save fuel costs

• To ensure stability and control during flight.

• To increase the speed of the aircraft

• To make the passengers feel more comfortable
