Flight and Space
Across
- 2. The controlling surface that regulates an aircraft’s roll.
- 5. The width of an airfoil or wing.
- 8. The tail assembly of an aircraft, including the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, elevators, and rudder.
- 10. A gas or liquid that tends to take the shape of its container.
- 11. the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth or toward any other physical body having mass.
Down
- 1. A measure of the curvature of the airfoil.
- 3. The controlling surface that regulates an aircraft’s pitch.
- 4. Transferring of energy to an object, typically by pushing or pulling on that object.
- 6. Resistance of the air (technically a fluid) against the forward movement of an airplane.
- 7. The force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the airplane in the air.
- 9. The up or down movement of an aircraft
- 10. Control surfaces attached to the trailing edge of the wing extending outward from the fuselage to the midpoint of each wing. Flaps can increase the lifting efficiency of the wing and decrease stall speed.
