Across
- 1. is when the critical angle of attack is reached and caused the boundary layer of air to separate from the airfoil and creates drag

- 8. the length from the trailing edge to the leading edge
- 10. controls the roll of an airplane
- 12. the type of mechanics the brothers were.
- 14. a type of tunnel used to test, analyze, and improve airfoil designs

- 20. brothers who made the world's first powered controlled flight.
- 22. wing __________ was done by the brothers for the first time to control the roll of a flying machine
- 23. the type of airfoil where the upper surface is more curved.
- 25. a wing shape that when moved through a fluid produces an aerodynamic force.
Down
- 2. maximum distance between the upper and lower wing surfaces.
- 4. the curve of the wing
- 7. the angle of _____ is the angle between the chord line and the relative wind flow.
- 9. _____ Lilenthal's aerodynamic data was used by the brothers
