Back

Drag, Lift, Thrust, Gravity

Front

What does Bernoulli's Principle state?

Back

The faster the air is moving, the lower the air pressure.

Front

True or False: Moving the nose of a plane up or down (pitch) is controlled by the ailerons.

Back

Front

What is drag in the context of flight?

Back

Drag is the force that opposes an aircraft's motion through the air.

Front

What role does gravity play in flight?

Back

Gravity pulls the aircraft down towards the Earth.

Front

How do ailerons affect an aircraft?

Back

Ailerons control the roll of the aircraft, allowing it to turn.

Front

What is the relationship between lift and wing shape?

Back

The shape of the wing (airfoil) helps create lift by changing air pressure.

Front

What is thrust produced by?

Back

Thrust is produced by engines or propellers.
