1.The term “angle of attack” is defined as the angle between the…

Chord line of the wing and the relative wind

Airplanes Lateral axis and that of the air striking the airfoil

Airplanes centerline and the non-relative wind

Correct Answer : Chord line of the wing and the relative wind

2.Why is frost considered hazardous to flight?

Frost changed the shape of the airfoil

Frost spoils the smooth flow of air over the wings, decreasing lifting capability

Frost slows airflow over the wings

Correct Answer : Frost spoils the smooth flow of air over the wings, decreasing lifting capability
