Across
  1. 2. shear variation in wind velocity occurring along a direction at right angles to the wind's direction and tending to exert a turning force.
  2. 3. a hinged surface in the trailing edge of an airplane wing, used to control lateral balance.
  3. 5. a direction or bearing.
  4. 7. 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.
  5. 8. the height of an object or point in relation to sea level or ground level.
  6. 9. Lift is the force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the airplane in the air.
  7. 10. a part of a machine that bears friction, especially between a rotating part and its housing.
  8. 12. 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.
  9. 13. pull (someone or something) along forcefully, roughly, or with difficulty.
  10. 14. push (something or someone) suddenly or violently in the specified direction.
Down
  1. 1. 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.
  2. 4. the main body of an aircraft.
  3. 6. An airfoil (American English) or aerofoil (British English) is the shape of a wing, blade (of a propeller, rotor, or turbine), or sail (as seen in cross-section).
  4. 7. a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.
  5. 11. a vertical airfoil pivoted from the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft, for controlling movement around the vertical axis.
