Gliders

The main body of a plane.

• Fuselage

• Wing

• Cockpit

The balance point of a plane due to weight.

• Static Margin

• Neutral Point

• Center of Gravity

The force that pushes a plane forward

• lift

• thrust

• weight

• drag

The force that pushes a plane upward

• lift

• thrust

• weight

• drag

The force that slows the plane down

• lift

• thrust

• weight

• drag

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

Another way to think about drag on the glider is:

• thrust

• resistance

• push

• lift

A glider uses an engine to help when it stalls.

• True

• False

There are 4 forces of fight. Which one is caused by wind resistance?

• Weight

• Thrust

• Drag

• Lift

Which is true?

• Larger wing area means more lift

• Smaller wing area means more lift

• Lift comes from a lager fuselage

• Lift comes from the vertical stabilizer
