Making the wing longer and more slender (achieving a higher aspect ratio) weakens the tip vortices, creating less drag and reducing aircraft fuel consumption. 

In order for an plane to achieve maximum climb rate, what is needed?

The true measure of aerodynamic efficiency is

Given: A Citation jet is cruising at a velocity of 492-mph (1-mph = 1.47-ft/sec) at an altitude of 33,000-ft, where the ambient air density is 7.9656X10-4 slugs/ft3.  The aircraft weight and wing planform areas are 15,000-lbs and 342.6-ft2 , respectively. The drag coefficient at cruise is 0.015. Calculate the lift coefficient (two decimal points) [blank1] and the lift-to-drag ratio (nearest whole number) [blank2]  

Wing aspect ratio is defined as

The variable in the lift equation that gives the greatest influence on lift is

The male reproductive system undergoes changes as aging occurs. What is the term used to describe a relative or absolute hypogonadism associated with aging?

The mother of a 5-year-old boy brings him into the clinic because of a firm swelling around one of his testes. What diagnosis is suggested?

Trichomoniasis is an STI that can occur in either sex. Men carry the protozoan in the urethra and prostate and remain asymptomatic. This anaerobic protozoan can cause a number of complications. What is a risk factor for trichomoniasis in both men and women?
