Forces
Pulls the craft to the Earth. Opposite of lift.
What is gravity?
Controls Yaw and gives stability
What is a Vertical Stablizer?
What is the Fuselodge?
Changes pitch
What is the elevator?
Measures the distance the plane is above mean sea level.
What is the Altimiter?
Holds the aircraft aloft and keeps it in the air. Opposite of Gravity.
What is lift?
Controls pitch
What is a Horizontal Stablizer?
Decreases lift during landing.
What are the slats?
Changes Yaw
What is the rudder?
Measures the speed in which you are moving through the air in knots or nautical miles per hour. Knots is the standard unit of velocity used in aviation. It is the equivalent to the speedometer in a car.
The driving force of something
What is thrust?
Generates lift and helps stay aloft
What is a wing?
Increase lift and increase drag
What are flaps?
Informs the pilot of the rate of climb or decent.
What is the Vertical speed indicator(VSI)?
What is Drag?
Generates thrust
What is an engine?
Changes roll.
Used in a aircraft to inform the pilot of the aircrafts heading.
What is the heading indicator or directional gyro(DG)?
Controls the plane parts and gives commands
Exponentialy increasing drag
What is a spoiler?
Shows the position of the aircraft in relation to the Earth's horizon.
