What is the speed reduction in a typical jet aircraft during the flare?(a) 95-100%(b) 75-82%(c) 50-55%(d) 5-10%I have been asked this question in an internship interview.My query is from Mechanics of Landing topic in section Landing Systems & Air-Traffic Management of Avionics

Answer»

Correct choice is (d) 5-10%

Explanation: Since during a flare maneuver the angle of attack is increased both lift and drag is increased. The excess lift CAUSES upward acceleration to reduce the rate of descent and the INCREASE in drag accounts for the REDUCTION in the speed of the aircraft.
