TEST PILOT ANSWERS
TEST PILOT from page 36
1. The Avro Canada CF–105 Arrow (1958),
Concorde (1969), and the Dassault Falcon
7X (2005).
2. A nautical mile is equal to a minute of
latitude, which means that there are 60
nm separating each degree of latitude.
Because there are 90 degrees of latitude

between the equator and either pole, the
distance between them must be 60 times
90, or 5,400 nm. The distance around the
Earth, therefore, is four times 5,400, which
is 21,600 nm.
3. Most pilots probably can name only
one navigator, Fred Noonan, and this would
be the correct answer. He also was Amelia

Earhart’s navigator and became famous

when the pair disappeared in the Pacific near
3700 INTERSTATE 35 SOUTH • WACO, TX 76706-3756
Howland Island on July 2, 1937.
4. The airplane was originally powered by
a 20-horsepower, two-cylinder Brownback
“Tiger Kitten” engine. Because a tiger kitten
is a cub, the company’s accountant, Gilbert
Hadrel, was inspired to call the little airplane
a Cub.
5. The Consolidated PBY flying boat (and
amphibian) was built during the 1930s
and 1940s. It was one of the most widely
used multirole aircraft of World War II and
served with every branch of the U.S. armed
forces (as well as the air forces and navies
of numerous other nations).
6. True. The windmilling propeller causes
the engine to continue turning and ambient atmospheric pressure is allowed to fill
the cylinders as long as the throttle is open.
Closing the throttle restricts air from entering the engine and would reduce manifold
pressure.
7. With 3,365 airports, Brazil is a distant
second. With 2,743 airports, Russia comes
in third.
8. (b) Also, a given volume of air taken
from sea level to this altitude would
expand to 14.7 times its original size.
