stream of air. - Answer✔Airfoil
A way of representing some physical quantity, such as temperature or velocity, by a
proportional continuous voltage or current. - Answer✔Analog

Air Traffic Control, A system is to prevent a collision between aircraft operating in the system
and to organize and expedite the flow of traffic, and to provide support for National Security
and Homeland Defense. - Answer✔ATC
Electronics that are used onboard for piloting an aircraft. Avionics systems enable interaction
with aircraft systems including navigation, communication, and flight control. -
Answer✔Avionics
A force with its resultant passing through the centroid of a particular section and being
perpendicular to the plane of the section. A force in a direction parallel to the long axis of the
structure. - Answer✔Axial Stress
The horizontal direction to or from any point, usually measured clockwise from true north,
magnetic north, or some other reference point through 360 degrees. - Answer✔Bearing
The small circular area in the retina where the optic nerve enters the eye that is devoid of rods
and cones and is insensitive to light. - Answer✔Blind Spot
A thin layer of air next to the surface of an airfoil which shows a reduction in speed due to the
air's viscosity. - Answer✔Boundary Layer
The common reference point for the three axes of the aircraft. - Answer✔Center of Gravity
The point on the surface of an object about which the object's surface area is centered. -
Answer✔Center of Pressure
The geometric center of an area. - Answer✔Centroid
The space in the fuselage of a small airplane containing seats for the pilot, copilot, and
sometimes passengers. - Answer✔Cockpit
Small bodies composed of ice and rock in various orbits about the sun. - Answer✔Comets
A material made of multiple layers of fibers held together with a matrix. - Answer✔Composite
When a material is reduced in volume by the application of pressure; the reciprocal of the bulk
modulus. - Answer✔Compression
The piston moves back towards the cylinder head. - Answer✔Compression Stroke
Any of the conical photosensitive receptor cells of the vertebrate retina that functions in color
vision. - Answer✔Cone
The capability of an aircraft to respond to your flight inputs, especially with regard to attitude
and flight path. - Answer✔Controllability
A surface or shape exposed by making a straight cut through something at right angles to the
axis. - Answer✔Cross-Sectional Area
