drag
What part of a plane generates thrust
wings
tail
engine
landing gear
What part of the plane generates lift?
wings
tail
engine
landing gear
As you increase speed of a plane, the lift will ___________.
increase
decrease
stop
remain the same
What happens when thrust is greater than drag?
The plane turns
The plane speeds up
The plane slows down
The plane rises
Match the following:
Force
A push or pull on an object.
Lift
An upward force created by the flow of air over the wing.
Drag
The force of air resistance on a plane. It opposes thrust.
Thrust
The force that pushes a plane forwards. Created by the engine/propeller.
Weight
The downward force on the plane caused by gravity.
The hinged part of the stabilizer on an aircraft that is used to deflect the tail of the plane up and down is called the?
elevators
airfoil
camber
fuselage
The part of an airplane that raises and lowers the wings, causing the aircraft to roll is called?
pitch
yaw
roll
ailerons
The rotation of the airplane around its longitudinal axis. The up and down motion of the wings of an aircraft is called?
pitch
yaw
roll
rudders
The side-to-side movement of an airplane's nose is called?
pitch
yaw
roll
ailerons
The up and down motion of the nose of an aircraft is called?
pitch
yaw
roll
rudders
Small moving section at the rear of the stabilizer that helps to control the yawing motion of the aircraft is called?
yaw
roll
ailerons
rudders
