Question 3: How does "Navier-Stokes Equations" relate to simulation software for aerospace applications, and what challenges do you face in applying them to real-world aerodynamic models?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Navier-Stokes equations are irrelevant in aerospace applications, where simpler models are used

Navier-Stokes equations are only used in academic research, not in actual simulation software

Navier-Stokes equations describe fluid flow, which is critical for simulating aerodynamics, but solving them numerically requires high computational power and careful boundary conditions

Navier-Stokes equations only apply to space applications, not atmospheric ones

Question 4: What are the differences between "2D" and "3D" simulations in aerospace applications, and how does the dimensionality of a simulation impact the software's performance and complexity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

2D simulations are preferred in all aerospace applications for simplicity

2D simulations are more accurate than 3D simulations in aerospace applications

3D simulations offer a more realistic representation of real-world physics and dynamics, but they are computationally expensive compared to 2D models

3D simulations are irrelevant as aerospace systems operate in 2D

Question 5: In aerospace systems, what is the function of the radar altimeter?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To provide data on weather conditions

To manage fuel efficiency during flight

To measure the aircraft's altitude above the ground

To monitor the aircraft's pitch and roll

Question 6: What is the role of "System Safety Software" in the aerospace industry, and how does it contribute to preventing system failures during flight operations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

System safety software is irrelevant if the hardware is functioning correctly

System safety software analyzes data from various subsystems to detect potential failures and triggers alerts to avoid accidents

System safety software only monitors environmental conditions, not system health

System safety software is used exclusively after flight for diagnostics, not during operations
