Question 1: In the prototype development of an aircraft, what is the main objective of conducting high-speed taxi tests?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To check the effectiveness of the braking system

To simulate takeoff conditions under controlled speeds

To assess the operational load distribution and tire friction

To evaluate the aircraft's speed capability

Question 2: What role does a "shear flow" analysis play in understanding the behavior of an aircraft wing box structure?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It predicts the fatigue life of the wing structure

It determines the strength of the wing box under tension

It provides information about the aerodynamic lift distribution

It helps determine how shear forces are distributed across the wing

Question 3: When performing a stress analysis on an aircraft fuselage, what is the effect of a high stress concentration around a rivet hole?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It reduces the tensile strength of the surrounding material

It decreases the effect of bending on the fuselage

It leads to a potential point of failure due to localized stress amplification

It increases the overall stiffness of the fuselage structure

Question 4: How do you quantify the effect of aerodynamic drag during flight testing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By focusing solely on engine performance and ignoring aerodynamic drag

By measuring the aircraft's speed, fuel consumption, and required thrust at various altitudes and configurations

By assuming drag is negligible during all stages of flight

By calculating the theoretical drag from wind tunnel tests without considering real-world conditions

Question 5: How does "Safety of Flight" certification ensure the aircraft's safety for operation under normal, abnormal, and emergency conditions?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It evaluates the comfort levels for passengers during turbulence

It measures the aircraft's performance at high altitudes

It focuses on testing the aircraft's speed limits during flight

It ensures that the aircraft can be operated safely during all phases of flight, including emergencies

Question 6: When performing a load analysis for an aircraft landing gear, what is the primary factor in determining the design of the shock absorbers?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The stiffness and damping characteristics of the shock absorber

The amount of weight to be absorbed during landing

The maximum landing speed

The structural fatigue limit of the landing gear
