Across
- 2. a vertical airfoil pivoted from the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft, for controlling movement around the vertical axis
- 3. shear variation in wind velocity occurring along a direction at right angles to the wind's direction and tending to exert a turning force.
- 6. a person's way of standing or moving.
- 8. a structure with curved surfaces designed to give the most favorable ratio of lift to drag in flight, used as the basic form of the wings, fins, and horizontal stabilizer of most aircraft.
- 10. the angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator, or of a celestial object north or south of the celestial equator, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.
- 13. a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.
- 14. the main body of an aircraft.
- 15. push something or someone suddenly or violently in the specified direction
Down
- 1. a direction or bearing
- 4. pull someone or something along forcefully, roughly, or with difficulty.
- 5. raise to a higher position or level.
- 7. the height of an object or point in relation to sea level or ground level.
- 9. the angular distance of a place east or west of the meridian at Greenwich, England, or west of the standard meridian of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.
- 11. a hinged flap on the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft, typically one of a pair, used to control the motion of the aircraft about its lateral axis.
- 12. a hinged surface in the trailing edge of an airplane wing, used to control lateral balance.
