- directional
- yaw, keeps plane from going too far left or right
- elevator
- moveable hinged tail control, causes planes nose to go up or down
- Charles Lindbergh
- 1927 first solo Atlantic flight in Spirit Of St. Louis 33 and 1/2 hours
- flap
- hinged at trailing edge of the wing closer to the wing, close to fuselage, increase lift or drag
- 10
- throws until arm get tired
- Wiley Pist
- 1933 first solo flught around the world
- 27.6 sec.
- longest paper airplane flight was
- Dik Rutan and Jeana Yeager
- 1986 flew The Voyager nonstop around world, 9 days 3 min. 44 sec.
- Georgia Dome
- Where longest paper airplane flight was held
- pitch
- keeps planes nose from going too far up or down
- lift
- pushes plane up
- Ken Blackburn
- flew longest paper airplane flight
- stabilizee
- horizantol or vertical airfoil in the tail section
- spiral
- roll, keeps plane from spinning
- Louis Bleriot
- 1909 first person to fly across English Channel
- process of lift
- faster moving air over top of wing creates low air pressure, underside, hih air pressure
- dihedral
- incline wing angle helps stabilize plane and create lift
- rudder
- moveable airfoil located at the rar stabilizer
- 60 mph
- how fast he thinks his arm was going
- Gravity
- pulls plane down
- fuselage
- bosy of plane
- airfoil
- wing tail or rudder
- Calbraith Rogers
- 1911 first to fly Wright craft across the USA
- Camber
- slight curve of airfoil from the leading edge to trailling edge
- drag
- holds plane back
- aileron
- hinged main wng surfaces thast help control banking for a turn
- law 3
- when object pushed in one direction, always resistance same size in opposite dircetion
- thrust
- pushes plane forward
- trainer
- works out w/ a person
- Orville
- flew 4th flight
- 852 ft
- how many feet the first flight was up in the sky
- law 2
- things move farther and faster when pushed harder. Move in same direction unless something move it to a different direction
- Amelia Earhart
- 1932, first women to cross the Atlantic Coast alone in nonstop flight, disappeareard
- December 17, 1903
- Wright Brothers first flight
- Law 1
- if something isnt moving it wont move on its own, wont stop until something pushes against it
- thermal
- warm air, uneven heating
