True or False: Most humans are scared of flying.

• True

The definition of lift is ...

• the force that acts opposite to the direction of motion

• to raise to a higher position or level

• having a shape which reduces the drag from air moving past

• push (something / someone) suddenly or violently in the specified direction

Which answer is not a property of air that we've studied

• Air takes up space

• Air has weight/mass

• Air exerts pressure

• Air is easy to see

How are airplanes designed to achieve lift?

• The wings on an airplane are usually in the front of a plane

• No one really knows how it works

• Pilots sprinkle magic dust on the airplane before takeoff

• They have wings shaped so that the curved side is on the top

Bernoulli’s principle explains how airplanes use their wings to achieve lift

• True

• False

Air flows faster below the wings on an airplane

• True

• False

If the lift becomes greater than the weight, the aircraft will move...

• Downward

• Accelerate

• Upward

• Decelerate
