It's the wing area divided by the wing span.
1kg = 2.2lbs
Swept wings, thin wings.
A variable pitch propeller provides an optimum angle of attack for the propeller blades for a longer range which reduces fuel usage, fixed pitch propellers only have a certain rpm.
Average range over land 20 - 25 miles.
Range for an NDB can be calculated with:
2√power output in Watts = Range (Land) 3√ power output in Watts = Range (Water)
Boots on the leading edges inflate (6 seconds) to break the ice dissipating it into the airflow.
Powered by the gyro pressure system.
Precision Approach Path Indicator
There are 2 types of leading edge devices:
-Slats. Slats are movable surfaces on the leading edge of the wing which when deployed, allow the wing to operate at a higher angle of attack, by delaying separation in the wing upper surface.
-Leading edge flaps (Krueger). Leading edge flaps are hinged on the leading edge of the wing and extend forward and down when deployed. they provide similar benefits as trailing edge flaps, by increasing wing surface area and camber.
A Mach trimmer is a system that artificially corrects for Mach tuck.
