Airplane Parts and Movements
This is the part of the airplane where passengers sit.
What is the fuselage?
An inflated balloon weighs more than an uninflated balloon; this shows that air has __________.
What is mass?
This long "a" word means an object that is shaped to glide through the air easily, with very little drag.
What is aerodynamic?
It is Bernoulli's first name.
What is Daniel?
Almost all animals in this class can fly.
This airplane part generates lift due to its airfoil shape.
What is a wing?
A kite flying around on a breezy day shows this property.
What is "air pushes on things?"
For an airplane to take off, it needs this force to be stronger than weight/gravity.
What is lift?
Bernoulli discovered that slow moving air = _____ pressure.
What is high?
This is how a bird would generate drag to help with landing.
What is expanding its wings?
The rudder controls this movement.
What is yaw?
What is hot air rises?
A skydiver deploys a parachute to increase this force.
What is drag?
What is Principle?
Bats are not birds, but rather, this class of vertebrates, with hands similar to humans.
What is a mammal?
This is the part of the airplane that controls pitch.
What is an elevator?
A hat worn in the winter keeps your head warm because of this property of air.
What is air insulates?
A Frisbee falls because this force becomes too strong.
What is weight/gravity?
Fast moving air has ______ pressure. (High or low?)
What is low?
This characteristic of birds' bones allows them to fly.
What is hollowness? (They are hollow).
If an airplane needs to roll to the right, this is what the pilot would do.
What is put the right aileron up and the left aileron down?
An oxygen tank can hold a lot of oxygen because of this property of air.
What is air can be compressed?
Jet engines are only responsible for generating this force.
What is thrust?
Bernoulli's discovery helped humans develop flight by making the wings this shape, that cause air to move fast on top.
What is an airfoil?
Other than animals, this other kingdom of living things also uses flight to live.
What are plants?
