AAP W11 - Aircraft Envelope and Loading

The upper speed limit of an aircraft is determined by:

• aerodynamic stall performance

• structural limitations and power/thrust available

• cabin pressurization limits and power/thrust available

• power/thrust available only

In steady, level cruise, the load n is:

• 0

• 1

• need more information

• -1

An aircraft in in a steady banked turn with a load factor n of 1.2. The roll angle is:

• 45 degrees

• 60 degrees

• 35.56 degrees

• 12.67 degrees

The boundary associated with permanent structural deformation on a V-n diagram is the.

• ultimate load factor

• limit load factor

To obtain the smallest possible turn radius in a banked level turn, we want:

• the highest possible n and lowest possible V

• the lowest possible n and lowest possible V

• the lowest possible n and highest possible V

• the highest possible n and highest possible V

The 'never exceed speed' is the speed at which the aircraft reaches aerodynamic stall.

• true

• false

Most aircraft maintain the cabin pressure equivalent to about ____ for good passenger comfort.

• 35,000ft

• 6,000ft

• 1,000ft

• 18,000ft
