Which is an aircraft whose flight does not depend principally on an engine to create thrust?

• Glider
• Airplane
• The Wright Flyer
• All of the above

What does the camber of an airfoil refer to?

• The straight line that connects the leading edge to the trailing edge of the wing
• The distance between the top and bottom of the wing
• The symmetry of the wing
• The curve of the wing

For modern-day gliders, what does Bernoulli’s Principle demonstrate?

• The speed of the air is faster as it hits the top of the wing causing an increase in pressure and creating lift. This permits flight of the glider.
• Air slows down as it hits the top of the wing, which increases pressure and creates drag. This permits the flight of the glider.
• Air moves faster over the top of the wing than air moving below the wing. This creates an area of low pressure on top of the wing, which lifts the glider up.
• An airplane’s wing is an obstacle to the oncoming air. As the air meets the wing, its path widens.
