Flight and Air Properties
Forces and Control
Odds and Ends
100
The part of a plane that controls up and down movement
What are the elevators?
100
Sections of the wing which can move up & down and control roll
What are the Ailerons?
100

Living and non-living things that

attempt to fly will always have two

forces working against them;

those two forces are...

Gravity and Drag

100
Small sections of the aircraft wing, for rolling and banking during flight.
What are AILERONS?
100

Name one positive effect of flight on society.

Vary 

200
The body of an aircraft that holds passengers or cargo.
What is the FUSELAGE?
200

This movement tilts the airplane’s nose up or down.

PITCH

200

The two forces that always work to help objects fly.

Thrust and Lift 

200
The four forces of flight.
What are LIFT, THRUST, DRAG AND WEIGHT (GRAVITY)?
200

Name one negative impact of flight on society

Vary

300
The study of air in motion.
What is AERODYNAMICS?
300
A shape designed to provide lift
What is wing?
300

Air pushes on everything in all directions; this is called...

Air pressure

300

The movement of the airplane left or right, controlled by the rudder.

Yaw

300

If weight is greater than lift, what happens?

the plane will descend or go down


400

The force that opposes an aircraft’s forward motion.

DRAG

400

Newton’s Third Law

for every action there is an

equal and opposite reaction.

400

Hot air rises because it has less of this compared to cold air.

Density 

400
A motion in flight where one wing tip moves up while the other moves down.
What is ROLL?
400

Why do birds have hollow bones?

To make their bodies lighter for flight.

500
States that the faster a fluid or gas travels, the lower its pressure.
What is BERNOULLI'S PRINCIPLE?
500

The three animals known to

date that are capable of flying

are...

birds, bats, and insects

500

When you blow up a balloon, it gets bigger because the air inside is doing this.

Taking up space

500

If thrust and drag are equal, the plane will…

Maintain its speed, stay the same speed

500

The only mammal capable of true flight.

Bats
