simulation
The unit in which the speed of a vessel is measured relative to the fluid it is traveling through. 1 knot/hr. is equivalent to 1.15078 Mph
lift
latitute
nautical mile
knot
Measurement used on a map to express the angular distance of an object North or South of the (celestial) equator. Expressed in degrees and minutes
lift
latitude
longitude
thrust
When the force upon the surface of an object created by the airflow over it becomes weaker above (pushing down) than below (pushing up) enough that the object begins to lift off the ground.
longitude
latitude
nautical mile
lift
A unit of measurement derived from its use at sea and defined as exactly 1,852 meters. Historically speaking it was the distance of latitude that could be traveled in 1 minute, also equivalent to 1/16th of a degree of Latitude
knot
nautical mile
kilometers
topography
An artificial environment (designed most commonly within a computer program) for the purpose of study
topography
aviation
simulator

push (something or someone) suddenly or violently in the specified direction. (the propulsive force of a jet or rocket engine.)
lift
knot
thrust
avaition
The arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area

yoke
spinner
The foot pedals used to control the plane
yoke
rudder pedals
brakes
gas pedal
This control surface causes the plane to Yaw left or right.
rudder
flaps
elevator
wings
Measurement used on a map to express the angular distance of an object East or West of the (celestial) meridian. Expressed in degrees and minutes
lift
latitude
longitude
