Bernoulli's Principle - ✔✔-the curvature of the wing causes air to pass faster above the wing than
underneath causing high pressure underneath producing lift
Four forces of flight - ✔✔-lift, weight, thrust, and drag
Bernoulli's principle (fluids) - ✔✔-fluids moving at a high speed have lower pressure then fluids moving
at a slow speed
Angle of attack - ✔✔-The angle between the direction of airflow against the wing and the chord
Chord - ✔✔-reference line that extends from leading edge to trailing edge within the wing
Induced drag - ✔✔-At the back of the wing, air flowing fast across the top meets air flowing slow
underneath creating a vortex
What will result in induced drag? - ✔✔-An increase in AOA, lift, or airspeed
Longitudinal axis - ✔✔-roll, runs from nose to tail
Lateral axis - ✔✔-pitch, wingtip to wingtip
Vertical axis - ✔✔-perpendicular to the wings at the center of the aircraft
Roll - ✔✔-controlled by ailerons
Ailerons - ✔✔-located on trailing edges of wings, control roll
Pitch - ✔✔-controlled by elevators
Elevators - ✔✔-located on horizontal tail, control pitch
Yaw - ✔✔-controlled by rudder
Rudder - ✔✔-located on rear vertical tail, controls yaw
What axis is pitch? - ✔✔-lateral
What axis is roll? - ✔✔-longitudinal
what axis is yaw? - ✔✔-vertical
Pressure altimeter calibration? - ✔✔-29.92 inches of mercury
How does air density affect aircraft performance? - ✔✔-high air density increases engine performance
fuselage - ✔✔-main body
Camber line - ✔✔-amount of curvature of the wing
Powerplant - ✔✔-engines, propellers, induction, exhaust, electrical, cooling, lubrication, and fuel
systems
Thrust Horsepower Equation - ✔✔-(thrust x aircraft speed)/ 375
Tail wheel - ✔✔-good for landing on non-paved runways
tricycle - ✔✔-includes nose and main portions, helps support the aircrafts weight since the center of
gravity is forward of the main landing gear
tandem - ✔✔-positioned along the longitudinal axis of an aircraft
Empennage - ✔✔-the tail assembly of an aircraft.
Vertical tail structure - ✔✔-rudder and vertical stabilizer
vertical stabilizer - ✔✔-Prevents the aircraft from yawing back and forth
horizontal tail structure - ✔✔-elevators and horizontal stabilizer
Horizontal Stabilizer - ✔✔-Prevents the aircraft from pitching up and down
Trim tabs - ✔✔-reduce control pressures and decrease the pilot's workload.
Primary Flight Controls - ✔✔-Ailerons, Rudder, Elevator
Secondary Flight Controls - ✔✔-Flaps, leading edge devices, spoilers and trim devices
Throttle - ✔✔-Increases and decreases power
joystick - ✔✔-directs aircraft left, right, nose up, nose down
Pedals - ✔✔-shift the rudder, moves aircraft left and right
4 fundamental flight maneuvers - ✔✔-straight and level flight, turns, climbs, and descents
Straight and level flight - ✔✔-cruising mode when all forces of flight are in balance
Turns - ✔✔-ailerons banks in direction of turn
