The document is a 3-page exam for a Mechanical Power Engineering course on Aerodynamics. It contains 20 multiple choice questions testing students' understanding of key aerodynamic concepts like lift, drag, pressure distribution, boundary layers, Reynolds number, and flow regimes. The questions cover topics such as the forces acting on airfoils, definitions of lift, drag, chord, and center of pressure. Students are also asked about mean free path, transition to turbulence, and friction coefficients.
