PoF Chapter 7 Stall

A stall is caused by:

• airflow separation

• low airspeed

• high angle of attack

• low density

A typical stalling angle is

• 16 degrees

• 12 degrees

• 10 degrees

• 30 degrees

To recover from a wing-level stall:

• angle of attack must be reduced

• angle of attack must be increased

• bank angle must be increased

• density must be increased

An aircraft with swept wings:

• stalls at the wing tip first and causes the aircraft to pitch up

• stalls at the wing tip first and causes the aircraft to pitch down

• stalls at the wing root first and causes the aircraft to pitch up

• stalls at the wing root and causes the aircraft to pitch down

The stall speed for an aircraft with forward CG will:

• increase

• decrease

• stay constant

• decrease then increase

A lighter aircraft will stall:

• at a slower stall speed

• at a higher stall speed

• at the same stall speed

• at any speed

When an aircraft with rectangular wings stalls:

• the CP moves aft and the aircraft pitches down

• the CP moves aft and the aircraft pitches up

• the CP moves forward and the aircraft pitches up

• the CP moves forward and the aircraft pitches down

An aircraft with tapered wings stalls:

• at the wing tip first

• at the wing root first

• at the leading edge first

• at the trailing edge first

Stall strips are installed on some aircraft to:

• induce stall at the wing root

• induce stall at the wing tip

• delay stall at the wing root

• delay stall at the leading edge

At higher altitudes in normal operations, a large transport jet should never exceed a bank angle of:

• 15 degrees

• 20 degrees

• 25 degrees

• 30 degrees
