Across
- 5. Drag caused by the shape and surface roughness of the aircraft.
- 7. The limits of speed, altitude, and load factor an aircraft can safely operate.
- 8. A control surface on the wing used to control roll.
- 9. The main body of the aircraft, holding the crew, passengers, and cargo.
- 12. Hinged surfaces on the wings used to increase lift during takeoff and landing.
- 13. Drag caused by the generation of lift.
- 15. A small vertical surface on the wingtip that reduces drag.
- 16. A control surface on the tail used to control yaw.
- 18. The axis running from wingtip to wingtip.
- 19. The axis running from the top to the bottom of the aircraft.
- 20. The tail section of an aircraft, including the stabilizers and rudder.
Down
- 1. The axis running from the nose to the tail of the aircraft.
- 2. The distance an aircraft can travel horizontally compared to its altitude loss.
- 3. Surfaces on the wings used to reduce lift and increase drag.
- 4. The shape of a wing or blade that generates lift.
- 6. The point where the aircraft's weight is balanced.
- 10. The ratio of the speed of the aircraft to the speed of sound.
- 11. A control surface on the tail used to control pitch.
- 14. The ratio of the lift on an aircraft to its weight.
- 17. A dimensionless number representing the drag per unit area.
