Forces of Flight
This is the downward force acting on an aircraft due to gravity.
What is Weight?
This is the main body of an airplane, where passengers and cargo are carried.
What is Fuselage
This law or principle states that as air moves faster, its pressure decreases
Bernoullis Principle
This gas is used in modern blimps
Helium
She was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
Amelia Earhart
This force acts upwards, counteracting weight, and allows an aircraft to stay in the air.
What is Lift
This part of the airplane controls movement from left to right.
What is the Rudder?
What shape is the most aerodynamic?
What are Newton's three laws of motion?
1) An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 2) The greater the mass of the force, the more force needed to. accelerate 3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
These brothers are credited with inventing and flying the first successful airplane.
The Wright Brothers
This force slows an aircraft down, moving in the opposite direction of the aircrafts movement.
What is Drag
This part of the airplane allows it to go up and down
What is the elevator?
What are the four forces acting on an airplane in flight?
Lift, weight, thrust, and drag
These brothers invented the hot air ballon
What is the Montgolfier Brothers
A push or pull on an object
Where is the low pressure area on a wing?
The top
Why does hot air rise?
What is because hot air is less dense than cold air?
Air is these three things
Colourless, tasteless and odourless
Originally, Cloth and Wood made up this part of an airplane
What is the wing?
Newton’s Third Law explains that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This principle contributes to which two forces in flight?
What is Thrust and Drag
What is the trailing and leading edge?
Leading edge is the front edge of a wing, which first makes contact with the air as the plane moves forward. Trailing edge is back of the wing, where airflow meets again, is called this.
The shape of a wing, which creates differences in air pressure, is called this.
what is airfoil
Kinetic energy is created by this
What is rapid moving air create?
This was the year the first airplane was made
What is 1903
