Swept wings are designed to be the most effective at high speeds. At low speeds, a swept wing produces less lift than its straight counterpart.

+2.5G / -1.0G

A turbo charger is externally driven by exhaust back pressure turning a turbine which in turn drives a compressor in the induction manifold to increase the air pressure (constant volume, higher pressure) and is controlled by waste gate.

A supercharger is internally driven by the propellor shaft to compress mixture and is controlled by RPM.

This speed is defined to be equal to the greater of stall speed (Vso) multiplied by 1.3, or stall speed (Vs1g) multiplied by 1.23.

The landing configuration that is to be taken into consideration can be defined by either the operator or by the aeroplane manufacturer but is most commonly assigned by the manufacturer.

Mcrit is the aircraft’s Mach speed at which the airflow over a wing becomes sonic.

A wing tip is the part of the wing that is the most distant from the fuselage of a fixed-wing aircraft.

Radiation fog forms on cloudless nights with only very light winds and high relative humidity when the cold ground cools the air above it to its dew point causing condensation (fog).

Usually occurs inland in valleys and low lying areas (as these areas tend to have more moisture) and usually occurs in a high pressure system.

N1= Low pressure compressor spool or fan rotation speed. Usually expressed as a % of Max N1.

N2= High pressure compressor rotation speed.

EGT= Exhaust gas temperature, indicates the temperature at the first stage of the turbine, which is the most critical temperature in the engine.

EPR= Engine pressure ratio of the inlet to the jet pipe, displayed on the EPR gauge to use as a parameter for setting engine thrust

The track changes constantly.

High lift devices increase the lift produced by a wing, allowing the aircraft to operate at lower speed ranges usually for take off and landing.
