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