Name and explain the three terms that describe how an airplane moves in three dimensions.

• Up, Down, Left,Right

• Yaw,Brick,Roll

• Yaw,up,down

• Yaw,Pitch,Roll

You are designing an airplane to carry liquid cargo that will slosh and move side to side in its container. This could make the plane unstable. What type of airfoil would you use for the wing? Why?

• Low Camber

• High Camber-Thick wing section

• Symmetrical Camber

• High Camber-Thin wing section
