Front 1

What is gravity?

Back 1

- the force that gives the plane weight and pulls it towards the ground

Front 2

Why does the larger surface area of a wing equal greater lift?

Back 2

- because a larger wing is able to deflect more air downward

Front 3

Pitch

Back 3

-

Front 4

yaw

Back 4

- Parts of the wing that can move up or down to tilt the wing

Front 5

roll

Back 5

- the turning of a plane

Front 6

The pitch of the plane is controlled by the ___________________.

Back 6

- elevators on the tail of the plane
- they are controlled by the control wheel.
- if the wheel is pulled back, the elevator goes up
- if the wheel is pushed forward the elevators go down

Front 7

The yaw is controlled by the _____________.

Back 7

- rudder.
- the pilot use the right foot pedal to turn the rudder right which makes the tail yaw to the left and the noste to yaw to the right

Front 8

The roll is controlled by the ______________.

Back 8

- control wheel
- turning the control wheel to the right causes the right aileron to raise the right aileron and lower the left aileron

Front 9

Ailerons

Back 9

- used to raise and lower the wings

Front 10

rudder

Back 10

- used turn the tail of the plane and point the nose in a new direction

Front 11

elevators

Back 11

- makes the nose of the plane go up or down and the plane to climb or descend

Front 12

What factors influence the effectiveness of a kite?

Back 12

-

Front 13

Bernoulli's principle

Back 13

- states that when a fluid moves fast its pressure decreases.
