Does the angle of incidence of an airplane change in flight?

  1. No, it does not change

  2. Yes, it increases

  3. Yes, it decreases

  4. It changes unpredictably

The correct answer is: No, it does not change

The angle of incidence of an airplane refers to the angle between the chord line of the wing and the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. This angle is typically set during the design and construction of the aircraft and remains constant during normal flight operations. Changes in the angle of incidence can affect the aerodynamic performance and stability of the aircraft. Therefore, the correct answer is A - No, it does not change. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because the angle of incidence is usually fixed and does not change during flight unless intentionally adjusted during maintenance or modifications.
