What is a VTOL aircraft?
Although this airport code might seem obscure, it represents a major international airport in a city known for its iconic Big Ben clock tower. What is this code?
What is LHR? (London Heathrow Airport)
The four forces of flight are lift, weight, thrust, and this
What is drag?
This type of engine, commonly used in smaller aircraft, operates on a piston-driven mechanism and is similar to those found in automobiles.
What is a piston engine?
This agency within the United Nations is responsible for overseeing global aviation safety standards and international cooperation in aviation. What is the name of this agency?
What is the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)?
This large aircraft is known as the “Jumbo Jet.”
What is the Boeing 747?
This area is where passengers go through security checks
What is the security screening area?
This principle explains how an airplane’s wing generates lift.
What is Bernoulli’s principle?
This engine type uses a turbine to generate thrust and is commonly found in commercial jetliners.
What is a jet engine?
In which year was the Chicago Convention signed?
What is 1944?
This type of aircraft can remain airborne without any engine, relying solely on its aerodynamic design. Despite lacking an engine, it often resembles an aircraft. What is this type called, which might mislead you into thinking it needs power to fly?
What is a glider?
This location within the airport is where passengers wait to board their flight , What is this waiting area called?
What is the boarding gate?
To achieve forward motion and maintain speed in flight, an aircraft relies on this force. It’s not the same as lift or drag, but essential for propulsion. What is it?
What is thrust?
This engine type uses a large fan at the front to produce thrust and is quieter and more fuel-efficient than a pure jet engine.
What is a turbofan engine?
The headquarters of ICAO is located in this city.
What is Montreal, Canada?
An aircraft with two wings stacked vertically is often mistaken for a modern jet because of its flight capabilities. This older design is crucial to aviation history but not commonly seen today. What is this design called?
What is a biplane?

What is 19?
This small aircraft is often used for personal travel and can carry just a few passengers.
What is a private plane?
This three-letter code flies you to the desert’s embrace, in a city with a famous skyscraper's grace. What is it?
What is DXB?
this control surface on the tail of the airplane helps to control the pitch, which raises or lowers the nose of the aircraft. What is it called?
What is the elevator?
This part of a jet engine produces thrust by using exhaust gases to spin a turbine.
What is the turbine?
This global non-governmental organization represents airlines and works to influence aviation policy and safety standards worldwide. What is this organization called?
What is the International Air Transport Association (IATA)?
