What is a parachute?
A person who studies the world and how it works.
What is a scientist?
The correct position for flying in the tunnel.
What is spread out with hips forward and arms up?
The force of the earth that keeps us on the ground.
What is gravity?
The number of fans in the tunnel.
What is four?
Used to test aerodynamics
What is a wind tunnel?
A person who designs and builds complex systems and machines.
What is an engineer?
A two finger pointed hand signal.
What is "straight legs"?
A push or a pull.
What is a force?
The location of the fans in the tunnel.
What is above and to the side of the flight chamber?
The air gently slows down

The reason you can never fall in the tunnel, even if the power goes out.
What is the momentum of the air?
Type of system where the air stays inside.
What is a closed system?
Speed plus direction traveled.

What is physics?
The amount of weight each wire of the safety net can hold.
What is 2000lbs?
What is terminal velocity?
Type of system where the air continues moving.
What is a recirculating system?
