Intro to Aerospace - 23/24

Chicago Convention came to use in :

• 1944

• 1946

• 1947

• 1948

According to Chicago Convention, free of duty are

• Fuel and Oil

• Spare parts, équipment and aircraft stores

• Passenger Luggages

According to Chicago Convention

• Every state has the right to complete and exclusive sovereignty over its territory

• every state has limited sovereignty over its territory

• each state keep its own rules of the air as uniform as long as they comply with those of the convention

Chicago Convention Established

• ICAO

• ICAN

• IATA

• EASA

The current European airworthiness regulations are

• FAR

• JAR

• EASA - CS

• EAR

The geometrical reference dilmensions are

• Mean Aerodynamic Chord

• wingspan

• mean geometric chord

• Wing area

• Wetted area

Volume of Horizontal tail

• dimensional quantity, linking horizontal tail area, wing geometry, distance beetween horizontal and wing

• dimensionless quantity, linking horizontal tail area, wing geometry, distance beetween horizontal and wing

• dimensionless quantity, linking horizontal tail area, wing geometry, mean aerodynamic chord and distance beetween horizontal and wing

• dimensionless quantity, volume of the horizontal tail related to the volume of the wing

Theoretical Ceiling Means

• Ceiling obtained only in theory and calculations

• Neve reached in operations

• ceiling where aircraft is able to fly on one precise airspeed

Best glide ratio is :

• Cz/Cx

• Cz/Cz max

• range of glide at 1 km in economical airspeed

• range of glide at 1km in optimal airspeed

Basic parameters to compare aircraft of different size

• Mean Aerodynamic Chord

• Thrust to Weight Ratio

• Wing Loading

• Lift to drag ratio
