tech questions

For the sake of those of us preparing for interviews who haven't any REAL experience flying heavy equipment, could some of our senior statesmen please take the time to provide some straightforward and logical answers to any or all of the following. Instead of starting 100 different threads, I thought I'd just post 100 different questions right here

In a typical Boeing or Airbus, is the centre of gravity always in front of the centre of pressure?

What effect does an increasing IAS have on EPR?

Can someone explain how to show where max range and endurance are located on a drag curve for a JET aircraft?
(is that one max range at min drag, and max endurance at 78% (one over the fourth root of 3) min drag?)

(technically speaking) Why is AVTUR used in jet engines?

A simple explanation of Dutch Roll?

What are Krueger and Fowler flaps?

What is a super stall?

What are the purpose of vortex generators?

How does CofG effect Vmca?

What happens to stall speed at very high altitudes?

Where does a swept wing stall first?

What happens to Mach no. during constant TAS climb? Constant IAS?

Is Vmcg always lower than Vmca?

What is the difference between dry and wet V1?

What does it mean if BRW is limited by an obstacle in the 2nd segment?

That should get the ball rolling
