Flight and Space
Across
- 2. Caused by Earth’s gravitational pull on an object.
- 3. The up or down motion of the nose of the aircraft.
- 5. Moves the airplane forward. It is is created by propulsion systems, or engines.
- 6. Created by friction from the air and its resistance to the airplane’s motion.
- 8. Force= Mass X Acceleration (Newtons ________ Law)
- 10. Up and down motion of the wings of the aircraft.
- 11. The part on an airplane that raises and lowers the wings, causing the aircraft to roll.
- 13. An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force (Newtons ________ Law)
Down
- 1. The hinged part of the stabilizer on an aircraft that is used to deflect the tail of the plane up and down.
- 4. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newtons ________ Law)
- 7. Small moving section at the rear of the stabilizer that helps to control the yawing motion of the aircraft.
- 9. A side-to-side motion of the nose of the aircraft.
- 12. Created by differences in air pressure and the movement of air around the airplane.
