In level flight at low power as power is increased considerably the aeroplane willQuestion 31Select one:a.Enter a spiral diveb.Yawc.Roll in the same direction as the propeller rotationd.Pitch up, yaw and then roll
Solution
The answer to your question is d. Pitch up, yaw and then roll.
Here's why:
-
When power is increased, the airplane's nose will pitch up due to the increased lift generated by the wings.
-
The airplane will then yaw. This is due to the increased torque from the engine and propeller. This is known as the "P-factor," where the descending propeller blade on the right side (for clockwise rotating propellers) produces more thrust than the ascending blade on the left side, causing the airplane to yaw to the left.
-
Finally, the airplane will roll. This is due to the "torque effect," where the rotation of the propeller causes the airplane to roll in the opposite direction. This is also known as "gyroscopic precession."
So, as power is increased considerably, the airplane will pitch up, yaw, and then roll.
