16
Q

Friction isn’t dependent on because it doesn’t change the weight or texture

A

Surface area

17
Q

Force that propels a flying machine in the direction of motion. Engines produces this

A

Thrust

18
Q

Force that acts as a right angle to the direction of motion through the air. Created by differences in air pressure.

A

Lift

19
Q

Force of gravity acting in a downward direction.

A

Weight

20
Q

Force that acts opposite to direction of motion. Caused by friction.

A

Drag

21
Q

Bernoulli

A

As the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure it exerts on its surroundings goes down

22
Q

Upward angle from horizontal of the wings or tailplane of a fixed wing aircraft

A

Dihedral

23
Q

Curve/bend in wing/ center of airfoil

A

Camber

24
Q

Upward curve

A

Upsweep

25
Q

Turning: how to turn left and right

A

Left-increase drag on left, increase lift on right

Right- increase drag on right, increase lift on left

26
Q

Tail-define and locate

A

Controls nose

27
Q

Nose-define and locate

A

Controls nose and cuts through air to control against drag/air pressure

28
Q

Fuselage-define and locate

A

Holds structure together and accommodates passengers and cargo

29
Q

Wings-define and locate

A

Generate lift and control airflow while flying

30
Q

Engines/propellers- define and locate

A

Provide electric power to generate thrust to push away from plane to push it forward

31
Q

Horizontal stabilizer-define and locate

A

Maintains planes equilibrium and stability in flight

32
Q

Vertical stabilizer-define and locate

A

Prevents lateral moments of the aircraft

33
Q

Elevators-define and locate

A

Increase/decrease lift on horizontal stabilizers to control motion

34
Q

Rudders-define and locate

A

Controls motion of plane hinged to vertical stabilizer.

35
Q

Ailerons-define and locate

A

Increase/decrease lift

tiny flaps on the wing–towards the center of the plane

36
Q

Flaps

A

Adjusts camber of wings- increase lift at ends of wings
