Worked practice questions

What helps a fixed-wing aircraft generate lift?

  1. Air moving past its wings
  2. Water jets below the hull
  3. A rotor spinning above
  4. A gas lighter than air
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Air moving past its wings

1. Air flowing past the wings creates lift in a fixed-wing aircraft. 2. A lighter-than-air gas lifts aerostats, and a spinning rotor lifts rotary-wing aircraft such as helicopters. 3. Only the stated answer fits the facts given in the source. _Source: Wikipedia, Transport: Air_

Which aircraft suits short trips from places with no runway?

  1. Helicopter
  2. Large airliner
  3. Cargo jet
  4. Zeppelin
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Helicopter

1. Helicopters are rotary-wing aircraft that can take off without a runway. 2. Airliners and cargo jets need airports with runways, and zeppelins are airships that need large handling areas. 3. Only the stated answer fits the facts given in the source. _Source: Wikipedia, Transport: Air_

What are remotely piloted airplanes called?

  1. Unmanned aerial vehicles
  2. Rigid passenger airships
  3. Rotary-wing gyroplanes
  4. Lighter-than-air aerostats
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Unmanned aerial vehicles

1. Autonomous or remotely piloted airplanes are called unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. 2. Gyroplanes combine fixed and rotary wings, and aerostats and airships float on lifting gas. 3. Only the stated answer fits the facts given in the source. _Source: Wikipedia, Transport: Air_
