Module 11A Aeroplane Turbine Practice Questions - UK CAA Part-66 AME Module 11A - Turbine Aeroplane Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems Exam - Module 11A Aeroplane Turbine Practice Questions - UK CAA Part-66 AME Module 11A - Turbine Aeroplane Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems Exam

Question 1

What happens to the local airflow speed over the upper surface of a swept wing as an aeroplane approaches its Critical Mach Number (M_crit)?

Local airflow speed reaches Mach 1.0 at the point of maximum camber before the aircraft reaches Mach 1.0 Local airflow speed remains strictly subsonic until the free-stream Mach number reaches Mach 1.0 Local airflow speed decreases due to the boundary layer energisation over swept wings Local airflow speed becomes supersonic across the entire wing surface simultaneously

Correct Answer:

Local airflow speed reaches Mach 1.0 at the point of maximum camber before the aircraft reaches Mach 1.0

Question 2

What is the primary function of wing sweepback on high-speed turbine aeroplanes?

To increase the Critical Mach Number by reducing the effective thickness-to-chord ratio normal to the leading edge To eliminate wave drag completely at supersonic speeds To move the centre of pressure forward during high-speed cruise To increase low-speed lift production during take-off and landing

Correct Answer:

To increase the Critical Mach Number by reducing the effective thickness-to-chord ratio normal to the leading edge

Question 3

Which aerodynamic phenomenon causes 'tuck under' in high-speed jet transport aeroplanes?

Aft movement of the wing centre of pressure combined with loss of tailplane downforce due to shockwave formation Forward shift of the aerodynamic centre as airspeed exceeds M_crit Flow separation at the wing root causing an abrupt pitch-up moment Excessive yaw damper inputs at high Mach numbers leading to Dutch roll

Correct Answer:

Aft movement of the wing centre of pressure combined with loss of tailplane downforce due to shockwave formation

Question 4

What is the purpose of a Mach trim system in a turbine transport aircraft?

Automatically adjust the elevator or horizontal stabiliser position to counter tuck-under tendencies at high Mach numbers Trim the rudder automatically during single-engine operation at high altitude Vary the engine thrust automatically to prevent exceeding V_MO/M_MO Adjust the roll trim to compensate for asymmetrical shockwave formation on swept wings

Correct Answer:

Automatically adjust the elevator or horizontal stabiliser position to counter tuck-under tendencies at high Mach numbers

Question 5

Why are vortex generators fitted to the upper surface of swept wings on turbine aeroplanes?

To re-energise the boundary layer with high-energy air from above, delaying shock-induced boundary layer separation To increase laminar airflow across the entire wing root area To reduce wingtip vortices and decrease induced drag during cruise To generate aerodynamic lift directly at low angles of attack

Correct Answer:

To re-energise the boundary layer with high-energy air from above, delaying shock-induced boundary layer separation
