Across
- 2. a structure to house aircraft
- 4. the power component of an aircraft propulsion system
- 6. the main body of an aircraft
- 7. the command-and-control area of an aircraft
- 8. a long strip used for aircraft to take off and land
- 10. rotation of an aircraft around the lateral axis such that nose of the aircraft moves up or down, relative to the horizon
- 12. hinged control surface on the tail of the aircraft
- 15. the upward force created by the wings moving through the air
- 18. a specific type of drag when an object moves through the air
- 20. rotation of an aircraft around the vertical axis, either clockwise or anticlockwise and parallel to the ground
- 21. rotation of an aircraft around the longitudinal axis such that the wings of the aircraft will tilt right or left
- 22. a structure with curved surfaces designed to give the most favourable ratio of lift to drag in flight, used as the basic form of the wings, fins, and tailplanes of most aircraft.
- 24. a type of turbine engine where most of the power drives a propeller
- 25. whose law of motion states that each action has an equal and opposite reaction
Down
- 1. area where aircraft are parked, unloaded, loaded, and refuelled
- 3. hinged control surfaces on the outer trailing edge of the wing
- 5. an additional component of jet engine to significantly increase thrust when used
- 9. hinged control surface attached to the vertical fin of the tail
- 11. force that moves an aircraft through the air
- 13. a path for aircraft to navigate an airfield
- 14. an elevated structure for the visual observation and control of the air and ground
- 16. the amount of matter an object has
- 17. fabric tube used to indicate basic wind direction and speed
- 19. super-hot air that is forced out of an engine creating thrust
- 23. force that opposes the relative motion of an object through the air
- 26. generated by gravity acting on the aircraft’s mass
