Across
  1. 5. the action of the plane’s nose moving from side to side
  2. 7. a set of blades that push or pull an airplane through the air
  3. 10. a plane that gets it lift from a powered rotor
  4. 11. used kites like sails to move their canoes
  5. 13. a moveable control at the rear of the plane that controls direction
  6. 14. movable controls on a plane’s wings that make it bank
  7. 15. an upward force caused by a difference in air pressure
  8. 16. the force of air against any object moving through it
  9. 18. a large piece of material that slows things down as they fall from great heights
  10. 22. an unpowered plane that relies on gravity to fly
  11. 23. the force that moves a plane forward
  12. 24. the movement of an airplanes nose up or down
  13. 25. the action of airplane banking
  14. 26. a large balloon that rises with the aid of hot air
Down
  1. 1. a glider that is lifted by wind and attached by a string to the ground
  2. 2. the force that pulls things to the ground
  3. 3. a reusable plane that travels into space
  4. 4. friction of air that resists the forward motion of the plane
  5. 6. a machine capable of flying
  6. 8. the force of air pushing an object
  7. 9. as air moves, air pressure drops. Therefore, faster air speeding over an object produces lift
  8. 12. structures that extend outward from each side of the airplane
  9. 17. a moveable control on the tail plane that allows the plane to climb or descend
  10. 19. mixture of oxygen and others gases that surround the earth
  11. 20. the section of the plane where the pilots sit to control the aircraft
  12. 21. gas-filled balloon with a motor and a propeller
  13. 27. the action taken when one wing is lowered and the other raised during a turn
