Question 232-10 : Mcrit increases as a result of flying at a smaller angle of attack mcrit increases as a result of compressibility effects mcrit decreases mcrit decreases as a result of flying at a greater angle of attack

.the critical mach number of an aerofoil is the free stream mach number at which sonic speed m=1 is first reached on the upper surface . /com en/com080 152 jpg. in this example mcrit = 0 72 .if the aerofoil is thicker the airflow will have to travel a larger distance in a same time mach 1 will be reached earlier mcrit the speed in front of the aerofoil is reduced .if you increase angle of attack the speed of the airflow over the wing is increased during lift generation the airflow is accelerated on the upper side of the wing mach 1 over the wing will be reached earlier .therefore if weight is reduced the angle of attack is reduced this increasing the mcrit speed limit exemple 368 Mcrit increases as a result of flying at a smaller angle of attack.Mcrit increases as a result of flying at a smaller angle of attack.

Assuming isa conditions which statement with respect to the climb is correct ?

Question 232-11 : At constant ias the mach number increases at constant mach number the ias increases at constant tas the mach number decreases at constant ias the tas decreases

.the mach number is the ratio of the aircraft true airspeed to the sonic velocity at the altitude considered ..for those questions use the very simple 'ertm' diagram . /com en/com080 336 jpg.the eas/ias line is vertical because the question states climb at constant ias . ertm for e as/ r as rectified air speed or cas / t as/ m ach .ias corrected for instrumental and static error = cas .cas = 1/2 rho v².density will decrease during climb and since we want to maintain constant ias tas will increase .mach = tas / local speed of sound.local speed of sound varies only with temperature and the question states assuming isa conditions temperature decreases by 2° per 1000 ft thus if tas increases and lss decreases the mach number increases exemple 372 At constant ias the mach number increases.At constant ias the mach number increases.

Question 232-12 : Decrease the shock wave induced separation decrease the interference drag of the trailing edge flaps decrease the stall speed by increasing spanwise flow on the wing increase the effectiveness of the spoiler due to increase in parasite drag

.many swept wings were found to suffer from separation at transonic speeds because shocks formed on the wing create an increasing pressure that slows the air suddenly and causes flow separation laminar airflow will separate from the airfoil stall easier than turbulent airflow vortex generators cause turbulent high energy little tornado airflow in the boundary layer .at low speed these vortices essentially 'sweep away' the boundary layer and 'excited' air close to the wing and the trailing control surfaces .vortex generators decrease shock wave induced flow separation by transfer energy from the free airflow into the boundary layer .the advantage of wing devices that create vortices is that a vortex adds energy to the airflow and increases its forward momentum this momentum encourages the airflow to remain attached to the surface of the wing at higher angles of attack than it would otherwise as a result the wing is able to continue generating lift in conditions where it would have stalled this behavior is particularly advantageous on high performance military aircraft that need to be extremely maneuverable at high angles of attack in combat the advantage for commercial airliners is increased safety since the plane is less likely to experience a wing stall during critical stages of flight like takeoff and landing . /com en/com080 162 jpg. exemple 376 Decrease the shock wave induced separation.Decrease the shock wave induced separation.

Question 232-17 : Corrects insufficient stick force stability at high mach numbers increases the stick force per g at high mach numbers is necessary for compensation of the autopilot at high mach numbers has no effect on the shape of the elevator position versus speed ias curve for a fully hydraulic controlled aeroplane

.as soon as mcrit is exceeded shockwave formation on the top of the wing moves the centre of pressure cp rearwards this generates the nose down pitching moment known as mach tuck ..by design all aeroplanes must require an increasing push force from the pilot with increasing speed but the illustration shows the effect of the cp moving rearwards is to decrease the basic stick force at speeds above mcrit this is unacceptable and would eventually require an increasing pull force with increasing speed ..to maintain the required stick force gradient a mach trim system is fitted the mach trim system input gives a resultant stick force to maintain the required stick force gradient ..because the mach trim system maintains the required stick force gradient the 'tempting' answer of 'increases the stick force per g at high mach numbers' is clearly incorrect exemple 396 Corrects insufficient stick force stability at high mach numbers.Corrects insufficient stick force stability at high mach numbers.

The speed range between high and low speed buffet ?

Question 232-22 : Increases during a descent at a constant ias increases during climb decreases during a descent at a constant mach number is always positive at mach numbers below mmo

Mach buffet boundaries .mach buffet is a function of the speed of the airflow over the wing not necessarily the speed of the aircraft any time that too great a lift demand is made on the wing whether from too fast an airspeed or from too high an aoa near the mmo the 'high speed' buffet occurs there are also occasions when the buffet can be experienced at much lower speeds known as the 'low speed mach buffet' .an aircraft flown at a speed too slow for its weight and altitude necessitating a high aoa is the most likely situation to cause a low speed mach buffet this very high aoa has the effect of increasing airflow velocity over the upper surface of the wing until the same effects of the shock waves and buffet occur as in the high speed buffet situation the aoa of the wing has the greatest effect on inducing the mach buffet at either the high speed or low speed boundaries for the aircraft .if the ias remains constant during a descent the mach number will also steadily reduce this is because tas reduces and the local speed of sound increases low speed buffet will therefore occur at a lower mach number the speed range between high and low speed buffet will increase exemple 416 Increases during a descent at a constant ias.Increases during a descent at a constant ias.

.in order to maintain a minimum margin against buffeting and ensure good aircraft maneuverability it is necessary to determine an acceptable load factor limit below which buffeting shall never occur this load factor limit is generally fixed to 1 3 this value is an operating limitation but not a regulatory one the corresponding altitude is called the '1 3g buffet limited altitude' or 'buffet ceiling' exemple 424 A manoeuvre with a load factor of 1.3 will cause buffet onset.A manoeuvre with a load factor of 1.3 will cause buffet onset.
