Flight and Space
Across
- 2. A measure of the curvature of the airfoil.
- 4. The width of an airfoil or wing.
- 5. The controlling surface that regulates an aircraft’s roll.
- 6. The angle between an aircraft wing and a horizontal line.
- 9. Resistance of the air (technically a fluid) against the forward movement of an airplane.
- 10. As the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases.
- 12. The acute angle between the direction of the relative wind and the chord of an airfoil.
Down
- 1. The ratio between the wingspan and average chord of a wing.
- 3. The rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
- 7. A part or surface, such as a wing, propeller blade, or rudder, whose shape and orientation control stability, direction, lift, thrust, or propulsion.
- 8. The tail assembly of an aircraft, including the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, elevators, and rudder.
- 11. The controlling surface that regulates an aircraft’s pitch.
