PLTW 1.1 and 1.2 Review - Design Process, Forces of Flight

What is the main goal of the design process?

• To write reports
• To make things
• To make charts and graphs
• To find solutions to problems

The force that pushes a plane forward

• lift

• thrust

• weight

• drag

Asking things like "What is the issue we need to solve?", or "What are my criteria/constraints?"...would be which step?

• Design a solution

• Generate Concepts

• Define Problem

The force that pushes a plane upward

• lift

• thrust

• weight

• drag

The force that acts opposite of lift

• lift

• thrust

• weight

• drag

The force that acts opposite of thrust

• lift

• thrust

• weight

• drag

The design process is....

• a systematic way to rule out group ideas

• a ranking system where a score is given for categories

• a systematic method used by engineers to solve problems

What part of the plane generates lift?

• wings

• tail

• engine

• landing gear

As air speed increases, the pressure ________________

• increases

• decreases

• remains the same

When generating a solution, a designer creates either a model or a ________________.

• drawing
• report
• design brief
• prototype
