Drag
Drag counteracts this force
What is thrust?
Causes the airplane to quickly lose speed and altitude- "Spoils" lift
What are speedbrakes/spoilers?
An increase in speed corresponds to a decrease in air pressure (principle)
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
This aerospace giant has been around for a century
The altitudes which drag is least (higher or lower)
What is higher?
Allows a steeper decent into landing
What are flaps?
The force of gravity pulling the airplane down is also known as this
What is weight?
Fly-by-wire is the product of this aerospace company
What is Airbus?
Drag caused by the production of lift
What is induced drag?
Creates lots of parasite drag after being put down
What is landing gear?
P-Factor is caused by this spinning object
This is the narrower version of the 767
What is the 757?
Drag caused by non-lift producing surfaces
What is parasite drag?
Roll the airplane right and left
What are ailerons?
This force propels the airplane forward
What is thrust?
Fedex uses this tri-jet.
What is the MD-11?
These are the two types of drag
What are parasite and induced drag?
Turns the airplane's nose
What is a rudder?
This throttle controls the fuel-air mixture in the engine
The Bombardier CRJ was recently renamed upon being acquired by this company
