5 / 10

What is the purpose of the pitot tube on an aircraft?

To measure the aircraft's altitude

To provide thrust for the aircraft

To control the aircraft's pitch

To measure the aircraft's air speed

6 / 10

What is the purpose of the flaps on an aircraft's wings?

To decrease the aircraft's lift during takeoff and landing

To increase the aircraft's speed during takeoff and landing

To increase the aircraft's lift during takeoff and landing

To provide directional control during flight

7 / 10

What is the purpose of the rudder on an aircraft?

To control the aircraft's roll

To provide additional lift during flight

To control the aircraft's yaw

8 / 10

What is the difference between a turbofan and a turbojet engine?

Turbofans have a larger fan at the front

Turbofans have more blades than turbojets

Turbofans are more fuel-efficient than turbojets

Turbofans are used in military aircraft, while turbojets are used in commercial aircraft

9 / 10

What is the difference between a jet engine and a propeller engine?

Jet engines are used in military aircraft, while propeller engines are used in commercial aircraft

Jet engines are more fuel-efficient than propeller engines

Jet engines have more moving parts than propeller engines

Jet engines produce thrust by accelerating a large mass of air, while propeller engines generate thrust by moving a large volume of air
