Why do some airplanes have dihedral wings?
Why do some airplanes have dihedral wings?
Dihedral provides:
Lateral stability (during a roll) Wing clearance, wingtip to ground has more space

Why do jet aircraft fly as high and fast as possible?
Why do jet aircraft fly as high and fast as possible?
Because the air is less dense thus the TAS is higher for a given power setting and for this reason modern jet aircraft are designed to be most efficient at high altitude.
Can you explain to me what Mach tuck is?
Can you explain to me what Mach tuck is?
Mach tuck is a nose-down pitching moment experienced as an aircraft passes Mcrit.
Mach tuck is a form of longitudinal instability that is caused by the centre of pressures rearward movement (caused by the shock wave) behind the centre of gravity.

What do you know about carb icing? Would you experience it today?
What do you know about carb icing? Would you experience it today?
Carb icing can occur in the engine induction system and in the carburettor of piston engines.
Regarding the second question, mention the conditions in which carb icing can occur and if it would be possible on that particular day.
Conditions for carb icing: when OAT is between -10 & +30, with high humidity (greater than 40%) and/or visible moisture.
