Science Vocablury on airplanes Flashcards
The key to flight
Lift
The force of the engine to move forward
Lift forces the plane upward
Thrust
The force of the friction of the air
Drag
The pull of gravity upon the mass of the plane
Weight forces the plane downward
Weight
A man noted for fluid going through a narrow tube speeds up puts less pressure on the tube then when the fluid is not moving
Bernoulli
The relationship between speed and fluid pleasure using mathematics
Bernoulli principle
An engineer who specializes in the science of aircraft operation
Aeronautical engineer
One who flys an aircraft or spacecraft
Pilot
An airfoil that develops the lift which supports an aircraft in flight
Wing
A device consisting of a hub fitted with blades that is used to propel a vehicle
Propeller
Is we’re the pilot sits
Cockpit
The central airplanes structure
Fuselage
Or tail that has many parts
Empennage
Helps the plane fly leavel
Horizontal stabilizer
The front of the plane
Nose
Angled down speedily
Pitch
A flight control hedged to the horizontal stabilizers
Elevator
Another part of the empennage sometimes called the fin .
Virtual stabilizers
To veer off it’s heading
Yaw
A control surface hedge to a vertical stabilizer that moves the plane left to right
Rudder
A moveable part on each wing of an airplane used in banking
Aileron
When ailerons deflect because the pilot moves the flight controls left from right
Roll
When lowered slows the plane down during take off or landing
Flaps
The part that supports the weight of an aircraft when it is on the ground
Landing gear
