STEMPilot Lesson 1 Test

The study of flight and the science of building & operating an aircraft.

• aviation

• aeronautics

• engineering

• simulation

The study or applications of flight. There are three types of Aviation; general, commercial, and military.

• aeronautics

• aviation

• topography

• engineering

A branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures.

• aeronautics

• aviation

• engineering

• simulation

The unit in which the speed of a vessel is measured relative to the fluid it is traveling through. 1 knot/hr. is equivalent to 1.15078 Mph

• lift

• latitute

• nautical mile

• knot

 Measurement used on a map to express the angular distance of an object North or South of the (celestial) equator. Expressed in degrees and minutes

• lift

• latitude

• longitude

• thrust

When the force upon the surface of an object created by the airflow over it becomes weaker above (pushing down) than below (pushing up) enough that the object begins to lift off the ground.

• longitude

• latitude

• nautical mile

• lift

 A unit of measurement derived from its use at sea and defined as exactly 1,852 meters. Historically speaking it was the distance of latitude that could be traveled in 1 minute, also equivalent to 1/16th of a degree of Latitude

• knot

• nautical mile

• kilometers

• topography

An artificial environment (designed most commonly within a computer program) for the purpose of study

• topography

• aviation

• simulator

• nautical mile

 push (something or someone) suddenly or violently in the specified direction. (the propulsive force of a jet or rocket engine.) 

• lift

• knot

• thrust

• avaition

 The arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area

• compass

• topography

• nautical mile

• knot
