After this lesson you will be able to Define terms associated with flight Name and describe the 4 forces acting on a
plane. Name and describe the motions of a plane,
the control surfaces that control these motions and the axes around which they rotate.
Lift Drag Gravity Thrust Aerodynamic
Relative wind Angle of Incidence Angle of attack Induced lift Dynamic lift Bernoulli Principle
RudderRudder AileronAileron CockpitCockpit FuselageFuselage Airfoil Camber Chord
Here are the terms you will be learning about during this unit
To change the pitch Raise or lower the elevator
To ASCEND (go up) RAISE the elevator.
to DESCEND (go down) LOWER the elevator.
To Roll the plane Change the ailerons on the wings
To roll RIGHT, Put the RIGHT aileron UP and left aileron
down.To roll LEFT,
Put the LEFT aileron UP and right aileron down.
To change the yaw Move the rudder right or left
To turn RIGHT, turn the rudder to the right
To turn LEFT, turn the rudder to the left
