To maximize aircraft range, the best way to cruise is at constant airspeed, constant altitude (the way we fly for ATC compliance)

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between maneuvering speed (Vₐ) and aircraft weight?

As load factor increases on a V-n diagram, the stall speed:

Which side of the power curve is considered the “region of speed instability”?

Which airspeed is primarily used in aircraft performance calculations?

Aircraft wings typically operate at high Reynolds numbers because this:

For liquids, viscosity generally decreases as temperature increases, while for gases, viscosity generally increases as temperature increases

This property can be viewed as the fluid’s resistance to shear when different parts of the fluid are in relative motion

Bernoulli’s principle states that an _____________ in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or the fluid’s potential energy. 

Increasing a wing’s aspect ratio generally results in:
