Lighter Than Air
They were famous for inventing the first manned hot air balloon
The Montgolfier Brothers Joseph and Jaques
These are examples of gliding animals
Sugar glider, squirrel, fish
This was used directional control of the first plane
Wing warping
He drew precise illustrations with detailed descriptions of inventions including flying machines
Leonardo Davinci
These are the 4 forces of flight
Lift, drag, weight, thrust
These are the main parts of a hot air balloon
Basket Burner and Envelope
They escaped from prison using wings made of feathers and wax.
Daedalus and his son Icarus

This is the year the Wright Brothers flew their first flight
1903
He described flight similar to that of birds
Leonardo da Vinci
The movement of an aircraft about its 3 axis
Pitch, roll, yaw
By using the wind at various altitudes to fly to desired locations
How a hot air balloon controls its direction in flight
This is one way a glider gets in the air
1) Towed by a plane
2) Pulled into the air by a winch system
The Wright Brothers went to this state to fly the first flight
North Carolina
The beginnings of STEM are from this ancient culture
Greece
Moving this yaws an aircraft
Rudder
They were the first passengers in a hot air balloon
Sheep duck and rooster
He discovered that when a fluid (such as moving air) changes speed, its pressure also changes
Who is Daniel Bernoulli
People suspect he may have been the first in flight in 1901
who is Gustave Whithead
Cayley built a primitive glider and used this as the first being aboard
A 10 year old boy
Moving this rolls an aircraft
