Across
  1. 5. – The span of a given protrusion at the end furthest away from the fuselage.
  2. 7. – The centre of an object’s mass.
  3. 8. – A severe decrease in pitch that leads to a decrease in altitude.
  4. 10. – the sum of all forces that counter the effect of gravity on an object.
  5. 11. – The device on the vertical stabilizer that controls the yaw of the aircraft.
  6. 14. – The angle of the wings downward for extra manoeuvrability.
  7. 16. – The main body of the aircraft.
  8. 18. – The amount of space an object takes up.
  9. 21. – The unit used to measure a given force.
  10. 22. – The force of gravity on the wings.
  11. 25. – The force acted upon an object by gravity.
  12. 26. – The tendency of an object to stay in motion or at rest until acted upon by another force.
  13. 29. – The rotary device that produces thrust on most powered aircraft.
  14. 30. – The device on the horizontal stabilizers that controls the pitch of the aircraft.
Down
  1. 1. – The change in velocity of a given object.
  2. 2. – The span of a given protrusion where it meets the fuselage.
  3. 3. – The sum of all forces that propel an object forward.
  4. 4. – The wheels used to land an aircraft.
  5. 6. – The residence of the pilot during flight.
  6. 7. – The centre of an object’s lift.
  7. 9. – A push, pull, or twist upon an object.
  8. 12. – The total length of the wings.
  9. 13. – An extendable surface from the back of the wings that provides extra lift.
  10. 15. – The ratio between the wingspan and the width of the wings’ root chord.
  11. 17. – The tail section of the aircraft, usually referred to as the tailplane.
  12. 19. – The result of not enough lift being generated to counter the force of gravity, usually caused by an increased pitch.
  13. 20. – An aircraft that has no device or propeller to produce thrust.
  14. 22. – The fixed or rotary device used to produce lift on an aircraft.
  15. 23. – Manoeuvrable strips on the back of the wings that allow the pilot to control the aircraft.
  16. 24. – The protrusions on the tailplane that stabilize the aircraft.
  17. 27. – The angle of the wings upward for extra stability.
  18. 28. – The sum of all forces that counter the force of thrust.
