What is the force that pushes the plane forward, usually created by engines?
Drag
Lift
Thrust
Weight
___________is the force that pulls the plane toward the Earth.
Thrust
Drag
Lift
Weight/Gravity
Pitch is when the nose of the plane moves ____.
Left or right
Up or down
Forward or backward
Tilting sideways
What part of the plane controls yaw?
Rudder
Elevator
Aileron
Wing
Ailerons are small flaps toward the wing tips on the trailing edge that control ____.
Yaw
Pitch
Roll
Lift
A stall happens when the plane's wings lose lift. True or False?
True
False
According to Bernoulli's Principle, faster air movement over a surface will result in higher or lower pressure?
Higher pressure
Lower pressure
The shape of the wing when looked at from the side is called ____.
Angle of Attack
Stall
Aerodynamics
Airfoil
Aerodynamics affects lift, drag, and how smoothly the plane can fly. True or False?
True
False
What is the function of a dihedral wing shape?
Makes the plane more agile
Helps the plane stay stable and level
Increases speed
Reduces drag
The horizontal stabilizer helps control ________.
Yaw
Pitch
Roll
Speed
A high glide ratio means the plane can ________.
Glide a short distance
Glide a long way
Climb quickly
Descend rapidly
The center of gravity is the point where ________.
The plane's lift is created
The plane's weight is evenly balanced
The fuel is stored
The cargo is loaded.
The leading edge of a wing is the part that ________.
Hits the air first
The air flows off
Is the widest
Is the narrowest
This is the force that pulls the plane backward. It’s caused by air resistance as the plane moves through the air.
Gravity/Weight
Drag
Thrust
Lift
This is the force that pushes the plane up. It's created by the shape of the wings as air moves over and under them.
Thrust
Yaw
Lift
Drag
is the point where most of the plane's lift is created by the wings.
Center of Orbit
Center of Mass
Center of Circle
Center of Lift
This is when the wings tilt up or down on either side. Think of the plane "rolling" sideways like a barrel.
Roll
Pitch
Yaw
Pivot
This is the part on the tail that controls pitch (nose up or down). It’s located on the horizontal stabilizer
Aileron
Flaps
Elevator
Pitch Controller
This is the angle between the wing (airfoil) and the oncoming air. It affects how much lift is created.
Aerodynamics
Angle of Attack
Stall
Anhedral
