The first question is all to do with the earth’s atmosphere and the ISA (International Standard Atmosphere). The second question involves solving a problem in that you are an operations officer at a flying school for a national airline and air force. They want you to purchase an aircraft that complies with their recommendations, then drawing up the specification for that aircraft as in a wing configuration. The second part of question two involves figuring out if recommended Cessna 150’s worth 10,000 euro each are a good or bad option and then proving the airline management right because they think it would be a really bad idea in buying them. The final part of the question is helping the flying school to buy existing aircraft. The third question is asking you to do a labelled hand drawing of a cross-section of a wing. The fourth question is all about a helicopter rotor head system and the final question is to do a labelled sketch of an aircraft …show more content…
The bottom layer of the atmosphere is called the Troposphere which extends up with a decrease in air temperature and pressure to 36,000 feet to a boundary known as the Tropopause and directly after the Tropopause the second layer approaches and is called the Stratosphere which then extends on up to about 100,000 feet without further increase in air temperature and most of the time it remains constant to the second boundary known as the Stratospause. These layers of the atmosphere are thinner at the poles but are much thicker at the
