Properties of Air and Principles of Flight
Across
- 3. Particles squeezed together so they take up less space
- 4. Flaps located on the wings and can make the plane dip left or right
- 5. The main body of the aircraft
- 6. The rotation of the fuselage (dipping the left/right of wings) caused by the ailerons
- 10. Located on the tail of the plane and controls the left and right movement of the plane
- 11. To move or push an object in a direction
- 12. Keeps the nose from moving up and down
- 15. The force that slows an objects movement through air
- 16. The up or down movement of a plane's nose caused by the elevators on the horizontal stabilizer
- 17. Located on the horizontal stabilizers of the plane, controlling the up and down motion of the planes nose
- 19. The force that raises an object up into the air. It opposes gravity
- 20. Extends out from the fuselage
Down
- 1. The force that pushes an object forward through the air
- 2. Keeps the nose of the plane from swinging from side to side
- 5. The process in which an object remains airborne for some time
- 7. The action of flying through the air without using an engine for propulsion
- 8. The study of how air moves on, over, under and around objects
- 9. The force that pulls objects down to the ground
- 11. The action of driving or pushing forward
- 13. A change that a living thing undergoes so that it can better survive in its environment
- 14. The main principle that is the reason airplanes can fly
- 18. The turning motion of the plane's nose to the left or the right caused by the rudder on the vertical stabilizer
