Have a few Q's concerning the guides on this site. The Aviation and Nautical info section:
# 51 which launch vehicle is not in the US program, it lists e as the answer, delta. Delta is made by Boeing and has been used for decades. All of the choices listed have been used by the US, NASA.
#52, Why does pilot dump fuel prior to emergency landing. The answer is listed as to increase maneuverability, not for fire prevention. I would think that less fuel take mass away from the plane system, but would not aid a huge amount in the maneuverability. I would think fire prevention to be the reason. Then again the less fuel in the tank, the more aerosol fuel there would be present making it more likely to catch a spark, but then a plane can have an emergency landing at any pre landing fuel capacity.
#55 I would think dry air would be lighter than humid air, yet the answer is listed as humid, can anyone explain?
