- 852 feet
- How far did the Wright Brothers airplane go?
- Stabilizer
- Any horizantal or vertical airfoil in the tail section used for keeping the plane's flight steady. The rudder and elevators are hinged to the stabilizers
- Calbraith Rodgers
- in 1911 makes the first flight across the U.S.
- Horizontal Stabilizer
- a stabilizer on the rudder
- Directional
- Keeps the plane from veering to the right or left, rudder, vertical stabilizer help control this
- Yaw
- another name for directional
- Roll
- another name for spiral
- 2
- Tell witch Law of Motion this is, Things move farther and faster when pushed harder, these objects always move in the direction they are pushed unless something changes that direction
- Wiley Post
- in 1933 makes first solo flight around the world in 7 days, 19 hours, and 49 minutes
- Rudder
- A moveable airfoil located at the trailing edge stabilizer and used for controlling direction to the left or right
- Thermal
- Rising column or warm air, caused by uneven heating of the earth or sea by the sun
- Fuselage
- The body of a plane
- Pitch
- Keeps the planes nose from going too far up or down, elevatorson the horizontal stabilizer help control this
- Flap
- A moveable airfoil hinged at the trailing edge of the wing closer to the fuselage, used for increasing lift or drag
- December 17, 1903
- What was the month, day, and year of the Wright brothers fourth flight?
- Aileron
- Hinged main wing surfaces that help control banking for a turn
- Dihedral
- An incline wing angle from the center of the wing where the fuselage meet. This angle helps to stabilize the plane and create lift
- 27.6
- second and millisecond of Ken Blackburns flight with a paper airplane
- Gravity
- Pulls plane down
- Elevator
- A moveable hinged tail control airfoil that causes the plane's nose to go up or down
- Amelia Earhart
- in 1932 became first woman to cross the Atlantic alone, in a nonstop flight from Newfoundland to Ireland
- 59 seconds
- How long was the Wright brothers flight?
- Thrust
- Pushes plane forward
- Spiral
- Keeps the plane from spinning or the fuselage from rolling, Dihedral angle helps control this
- Drag
- holds plane back
- Lift
- Pulls plane up
- Wilbur
- Who flew the wright brothers fourth flight?
- The Process of Lift
- fast moving air over the top of the wing creates less air pressure,slow moving air on the underside of the wing creates more air pressure
- Airfoil
- A surface part that is curved or flat creating air movement in a specific direction designed to keep the plane up
- Charles Lindbergh
- in 1927 makes the the first solo Atlantic crossing in plane "Spirit of ST. Louis" from New York to Paris
- 3
- Tell witch Law of Motion this is, When an object is pushed in one direction, there is always a resistance of some size in the opposite direction
- 1
- Tell witch Law of Motion this is, If something isn't moving, it won't start moving by itself,and it won't stop unless something pushes against it
- Ken Blackburn
- the world record holder for longest duration of flight with a paper airplane, flew paper airplane in Goergia Dome, wrote "paper airplane" books, estimates his arm is traveling 60 mph. when he releases the paper airplane, works out with a trainer to keep arm in shape, takes 10 good throws for his arm to be tired
- Vertical Stabilzer
- a stabilizer on the tail
- Camber
- the slight arching curve of an airfoil from the leading edge to the trailing edge that helps create lift
- Louis Bleriot
- in 1909 became the first person to fly an airplane across the English Channel, from France to England
- Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager
- in 1986 flew the "Voyager" nonstop around the world in 9 days, 3 minutes, and 44 seconds
