Aerodynamics of Flight
Across
- 1. What comes off the back of aircraft’s wings is like an invisible, mini tornado?
- 4. What type of adjustments can be used to maintain balance?
- 5. What must be greater than drag for aircraft to move forward?
- 9. What is the disturbance of air that forms behind an aircraft called?
- 10. What force of gravity is exerted on an aircraft?
- 11. What bounces off the ground, reducing drag and increasing lift?
- 13. What aerodynamic phenomenon occurs near the ground just before touchdown?
- 14. What are the upward-facing tips at the ends of wings called?
- 15. What has to be greater than weight for flight to be achieved?
Down
- 2. What is a sudden change in airflow caused by eddies and currents called?
- 3. What is directly proportional to weight and AOA?
- 6. What force produces forward motion from the engine or propeller?
- 7. What reduces vortex formation?
- 8. What turns water into a visible gas in humid weather
- 11. What is the fourth force of flight? (not lift trust of weight)
- 12. What force counteracts the aircraft’s weight?
