Q

four forces of flight

A

lift, weight, thrust, drag

Weight of aircraft, pressure + gravity affect weight

25
Q

Thrust

A

must overcome drag, propels airplane through the air

26
Q

Drag

A

pushes airplane back, opposes speed and thrust

27
Q

what happens when the lift and weight are the same?

A

cancel each other out, making it zero

28
Q

What is Bernoullis Principle?

A

as the velocity of fluid increases, pressure decreases

29
Q

What happens when air flows over the curve of a wing?

A

the velocity increases and pressure decreases, this produces the upward force of lift
