In what flight condition are torque effects more pronounced in a single-engine airplane?
a)
A – Low airspeed, high power, high angle of attack.
b)
B – Low airspeed, low power, low angle of attack.
c)
C – High airspeed, high power, high angle of attack.
2.
The left-turning tendency of an airplane caused by P-factor is the result of the
a)
A – clockwise rotation of the engine and the propeller turning the airplane counter-clockwise.
b)
B – propeller blade descending on the right, producing more thrust than the ascending blade on the left.
c)
C – gyroscopic forces applied to the rotating propeller blades acting 90° in advance of the point the force was applied.
3.
When does P-factor cause the airplane to yaw to the left?
