Parts of An Airplane Quiz

Emma is learning about airplanes in her science class. Her teacher explains that there are three main movements that an airplane can make. What are these three movements?

• Pitch, yaw, and roll

• Lift, drag, and thrust

• Speed, altitude, and direction

• Turn, bank, and dive

Nora is learning about airplane movements in her aviation class. What is pitch in the context of an airplane?

• The side-to-side movement of an airplane's wings

• The up and down movement of an airplane's nose

• The rotation of an airplane around its vertical axis

• The forward movement of an airplane

What does roll help with in an airplane?

• Increasing speed

• Initiating turns and leveling the wings

• Reducing drag

• Increasing altitude

What is yaw in aviation?

• The up-and-down movement of an airplane's wings

• The side-to-side movement of an airplane's nose

• The forward movement of an airplane

• The rotation of an airplane's tail

Harper and Elijah are flying a small airplane. How do elevators affect lift on the tail compared to the wings when raised?

• They create more lift on the tail

• They create less lift on the tail

• They create equal lift on the tail and wings

• They have no effect on lift

Kai is learning to fly a small aircraft. During his training, he is taught about different parts of the aircraft. What is the primary function of the rudder on an aircraft?

• Control the pitch

• Control the roll

• Control the yaw

• Control the speed

What is the effect of moving the rudder to the right on the tail of the aircraft?

• The tail moves right

• The tail moves left

• The tail moves up

• The tail moves down

Match the following

• Roll

• 
• Pitch

• 
• Yaw

• 

Elijah is learning to fly a plane. During his lesson, he asks his instructor what happens when the rudder controls the yaw of the plane. What is the result?

• The plane ascends

• The plane descends

• The plane turns left or right

• The plane speeds up

Match the following

• Stabilizing surface/helps with control

• Engine

• Main body of the aircraft

• Fuselage

• Provide lift and support

• Wings

• Provide thrust for movement

• Tail
