Question 1

Which aerodynamic force opposes rotor disk drag in steady, unaccelerated forward flight of a helicopter?

Forward tilt component of total rotor thrust Tail rotor anti-torque thrust Centrifugal force acting along the rotor blades Gravity vector acting on the tail boom

Correct Answer:

Forward tilt component of total rotor thrust

Question 2

During autorotation, which region of the rotor blade provides the thrust that keeps the rotor turning at operational RPM?

Driven (propeller) region near the tip Driving (autorotative) region between roughly 25% and 70% blade radius Stall region at the blade root Stabilizer bar region

Correct Answer:

Driving (autorotative) region between roughly 25% and 70% blade radius

Question 3

Gyroscopic precession causes maximum blade deflection to occur at what angular position relative to the point of maximum applied force?

45 degrees after the point of applied force in direction of rotation 90 degrees after the point of applied force in direction of rotation 180 degrees opposite the point of applied force 90 degrees before the point of applied force in direction of rotation

Correct Answer:

90 degrees after the point of applied force in direction of rotation

Question 4

What primary mechanism naturally compensates for dissymmetry of lift in a main rotor system during forward flight?

Automatic pitch change via governor throttle correlation Blade flapping Tail rotor balance weights Engine torque compensation valves

Correct Answer:

Blade flapping

Question 5

According to the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum (Coriolis Effect), what happens to a rotor blade when it flaps upward?

Its center of mass shifts inward toward the axis of rotation, causing it to lead (speed up) Its center of mass shifts outward, causing it to lag (slow down) Its pitch angle automatically increases by 10 degrees Its rotational velocity drops to zero

Correct Answer:

Its center of mass shifts inward toward the axis of rotation, causing it to lead (speed up)
