Across
- 3. The shape and features of land surfaces, including both natural and artificial physical features of an area
- 4. A side-to-side motion of the nose of the aircraft.
- 6. The main body of an aircraft.
- 8. The force that makes it difficult for one object to slide along the surface of another or to move through a liquid or gas.
- 9. The path of an object moving through space
- 13. The hinged part of the stabilizer on an aircraft that is used to deflect the tail of the plane up and down.
- 17. An aircraft similar to an airplane that has no engine
- 18. The height above the surface of the earth at which an object is located
- 20. The up or down motion of the nose of the aircraft.
- 21. Resistance of air against the forward movement of an airplane or rocket
Down
- 1. The means by which aircraft and spacecraft are pushed forward
- 2. The curvature of the airfoil
- 5. The force of gravity that pulls objects downward. Not to be confused with mass, the amount of matter in an object
- 7. The force that directly opposes the weight of an aircraft and holds the aircraft in the air. In a rocket, lift and thrust are in the same direction
- 8. load The amount of available fuel loaded for a specific flight
- 10. Small moving section at the rear of the stabilizer that helps to control the yawing motion of the aircraft.
- 11. The rate at which an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction
- 12. The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth or toward any other physical body having mass.
- 14. The part on an airplane that raises and lowers the wings, causing the aircraft to roll.
- 15. An aircraft that uses four rotors to fly
- 16. Up and down motion of the wings of the aircraft.
- 19. A push or pull on an object
