1. False. The first successful ditching
of a jetliner was performed by 27-yearold Aeroflot Capt. Victor Mostovoy,
who landed his Tupolev TU-124 in
the Neva River near Leningrad, USSR,
on August 21, 1963. All 52 occupants
survived.
2.. (c) Lightning frequency provides
a general indication of turbulence
intensity.
3. The Chance Vought F4U Corsair
first flew on May 29, 1940, and was in
production until 1953. A total of 12,571
were built.
4. The airspeed indicator at such a
time is typically unreadable because
of a combination of extremely erratic
instrument fluctuations and involuntary movement of a pilot's eyes within
their sockets.
5. True. In addition to airships such as
the Graf Zeppelin and the Hindenburg,
the Zeppelin company also built the
Zeppelin Staaken R.VI. This bomber
also was larger than any used by the
Luftwaffe to attack Britain during
World War II.
6. Introduced in 1934, the revolutionary P-26 Peashooter was Boeing's
fastest fighter and for a while was
America's fastest. It was called a
Peashooter because it had a long,
tubular gun sight that resembled a pea
shooter.
7. Most often found on sailplanes, they
are used to wipe bugs off the leading
edges of wings during flight to prevent
the bugs from disturbing the smooth
flow of air over the wings. (A video of
bug wipers in action can be seen on
YouTube by searching for "Bug wiper
testing.")
8. (a) Density altitude can be approximated by adding 60 feet to the
elevation of an airport for each 1
degree F that the ambient temperature is greater than the standard
temperature for that elevation.
