Air and Space Terminology

3. whose law of motion states that each action has an equal and opposite reaction
4. the main body of an aircraft
6. generated by gravity acting on the aircraft’s mass
7. the amount of matter an object has
9. rotation of an aircraft around the lateral axis such that nose of the aircraft moves up or down, relative to the horizon
12. super-hot air that is forced out of an engine creating thrust
15. hinged control surfaces on the outer trailing edge of the wing
19. area where aircraft are parked, unloaded, loaded, and refuelled
21. the command-and-control area of an aircraft
23. a specific type of drag when an object moves through the air
24. the upward force created by the wings moving through the air
25. 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.
26. rotation of an aircraft around the vertical axis, either clockwise or anticlockwise and parallel to the ground

1. the power component of an aircraft propulsion system
2. hinged control surface attached to the vertical fin of the tail
5. directs and monitors aircraft movement, both in the sky and on the ground
8. an additional component of jet engine to significantly increase thrust when used
10. a type of turbine engine where most of the power drives a propeller
11. a structure to house aircraft
13. force that opposes the relative motion of an object through the air
14. fabric tube used to indicate basic wind direction and speed
16. hinged control surface on the tail of the aircraft
17. force that moves an aircraft through the air
18. a long strip used for aircraft to take off and land
20. rotation of an aircraft around the longitudinal axis such that the wings of the aircraft will tilt right or left
22. a path for aircraft to navigate an airfield
