Air and Space Terminology

2. a structure to house aircraft
4. the power component of an aircraft propulsion system
6. the main body of an aircraft
7. the command-and-control area of an aircraft
8. a long strip used for aircraft to take off and land
10. rotation of an aircraft around the lateral axis such that nose of the aircraft moves up or down, relative to the horizon
12. hinged control surface on the tail of the aircraft
15. the upward force created by the wings moving through the air
18. a specific type of drag when an object moves through the air
20. rotation of an aircraft around the vertical axis, either clockwise or anticlockwise and parallel to the ground
21. rotation of an aircraft around the longitudinal axis such that the wings of the aircraft will tilt right or left
22. a structure with curved surfaces designed to give the most favourable ratio of lift to drag in flight, used as the basic form of the wings, fins, and tailplanes of most aircraft.
24. a type of turbine engine where most of the power drives a propeller
25. whose law of motion states that each action has an equal and opposite reaction

1. area where aircraft are parked, unloaded, loaded, and refuelled
3. hinged control surfaces on the outer trailing edge of the wing
5. an additional component of jet engine to significantly increase thrust when used
9. hinged control surface attached to the vertical fin of the tail
11. force that moves an aircraft through the air
13. a path for aircraft to navigate an airfield
14. an elevated structure for the visual observation and control of the air and ground
16. the amount of matter an object has
17. fabric tube used to indicate basic wind direction and speed
19. super-hot air that is forced out of an engine creating thrust
23. force that opposes the relative motion of an object through the air
26. generated by gravity acting on the aircraft’s mass
