Question

In static performance the acceleration of the flight is zero.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me during an interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Equations of Motion for Performance in division Aircraft Force Systems and the Equations of Motion of Aircraft Performance

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

To elaborate: In static performance the acceleration of the flight is zero. In this case the resulting conditions are proved to be as:

Thrust is equal to drag and

Lift is equal to weight of the aircraft.
