Time for Lift Off!
This is the downward force that acts opposite of lift.
What is Weight?
This is the upward force that acts opposite of Weight.
What is Lift?
This is the force that acts opposite of Thrust.
What is drag?
This the the forward force that is opposite of drag.
What is Thrust?
This is what happens when a wing can no longer produce enough lift.
What is a stall?
This device allows us to adjust our pitch in order to climb or descend.
What is an elevator?
Weight is a result of this phenomenon that effects everyone on Earth.
What is gravity?
These controls affect both our airspeed and our altitude in flight.
What are pitch and power?
This type of drag is a result of the aircraft's form, the friction of the aircraft's parts, and the parts that stick out.
What is parasite drag?
This is the first sign that a stall is coming.
What is the stall warning horn?
This lift device allows us to have higher lift even at slow speeds!
What are flaps?
This causes an aircraft to feel like it weighs more than it actually does.
What is Load Factor?
This device generates lift forward to give us thrust in airplanes.
What are propellars?
This type of parasitic drag is a result of the shape of the aircraft.
What is form drag?
This is how we know a full stall has occurred.
What is a nose drop, and wing drop, or an uncontrollable loss of altitude?
These devices allow one wing to generate more lift than the other, causing a turn.
What are ailerons?
Load Factor is measured by this force.
In this situation, Lift, Weight, Thrust, and Drag are equal.
What is unaccelerated level flight?
This type of drag is a result of lift.
What is induced drag?
This is the first step in recovering from a stall.
What is lower the nose to build airspeed?
When a plane is in a turn, we lose this type of lift.
What is vertical lift or vertical lift component?
If the plane experiences 2 Gs, the plane will feel this heavy.
What is twice as heavy?
This explains why our propeller blades are twisted.
What is to provide equal thrust along the entire blade?
As airspeed increases, this type of drag increases.
What is parasite drag?
When one wing stalls more than the other, is causes a rotation called...
What is a spin?
What is the acronym we use to recover from a spin?
What is PARE?
Power Idle
Ailerons Neutral
Rudder Opposite
Elevator Forward
