Year 11 Physics: Investigating Flight [Key Terms]
Across
- 4. Product of high and medium drag.
- 5. The back moveable surface that affects the pitch of an aircraft.
- 6. The speed monitor.
- 9. Fixed horizontal wing at the back of a plane that controls pitch.
- 12. rotation along the horizontal axis.
- 13. Downward force created by gravity and the mass of an object.
- 14. The area of the plane that hold the crew and cargo.
- 15. Used to change the airspeed above the wings and contributes to the roll of an aircraft.
- 16. Mass (kg) per unit volume (m cubed)
- 17. Moveable part located on the wings that changes the airflow and the roll of an aircraft.
- 19. rotation along the verticle axis.
- 20. The thickness or stickiness of a fluid.
- 22. The forward force exerted by the engine
- 23. How much force is applied to an area.
Down
- 1. Smooth movement of air across the aerofoils of an aircraft.
- 2. Where the pilot controls the pane.
- 3. The shaped surfaces on the plane that allow the aircraft to fly.
- 7. Changing the attitude of an aircraft.
- 8. Fixed verticle wing at the back of a plane that controls yaw.
- 10. The orientation of an aircraft in relation to yaw, pitch and roll.
- 11. The movement of fluid along a set path.
- 16. Air resistance
- 18. The back moveable surface that affects the yaw of an aircraft.
- 21. The upward force exerted to the wings of an aircraft.
- 24. rotation along the traverse axis.
