What is lift?
The speeding up and slowing down of air as it moves across a wing causing an upward push
The measure of gravity pulling down on an airplane's wing
The force caused by an airplane's engine that pushes the plane forward
Lift is the opposite of drag
What is drag?
The speeding up and slowing down of air
The angle of an airplane's wings with the front being higher than the back
The wing being sucked in an upward direction by the air
Drag is what pulls backward on an airplane, slowing it down
What is thrust?
The force that pulls or pushes a airplane forward
The force that equalizes lift and drag
The force that causes a plane to fall towards Earth
The measure of air pressure on the airplane's wing
Which angle is determined by the aircraft design and the location of the wing?
Angel of attack
Angle of Axis
Angel of incidence
Which are forces?
thrust
drag
weight
air foil
lift
If an airplane engine cut out mid air, which force would decrease almost immediately?
drag
gravity
thrust
lift
Describe the role of lift in overcoming gravity and enabling devices or living things to fly.
Explain how we can change the drag on a living thing such as birds or airplanes. How would you increase drag? How would you reduce drag?
