PoF Exam Q. TP/IAS

[Falz]

Hi guys,
Just a quick question I've got an exam in a couple of hours and have a complete brain fart.

In reference to the Transition Point where does it go, ie forward or backwards with an increase of IAS assuming that A/A is constant?

Thanks

Neil

As fwd airspeed increases the Tp moves fwd towards leading edge = > skin friction drag!

Cheers. I ended up getting a question on that so it's a good job I double checked!

It was still a bitch of an exam though...

And if you have:

During acceleration in level flight:

lift coefficient reduces
or
transition point on the wing moves forward

In the same question, wich would be correct?
