Aero -- correct answer--pertaining to air
Aerodynamics -- correct answer--relating to the forces of air in motion
Aeronautics -- correct answer--the science of flight within the atmosphere
aerospace -- correct answer--a combination of aeronautics and space
Air -- correct answer--A mixture of gases that contains approximately 78% nitrogen 21%
oxygen and 1% other gases
Aircraft -- correct answer--any machine that is capable of flying through the air; included
are ultralights, airplanes, gliders, balloons, helicopters, hangliders, and parasails
Airfoil -- correct answer--a component that is specifically designed to produce lift, thrust or
directional stability
Airport -- correct answer--a place on either land or water where aircraft can land and take
off for flight
,2
Altitude -- correct answer--height above sea level or ground level expressed in units
Aviation -- correct answer--The art, science, and technology of flight within the atmosphere
Aviator -- correct answer--A person who operates an aircraft in flight
Camber -- correct answer--the curved part of an airfoil from its leading to trailing edge
Chord -- correct answer--a line drawn through an airfoil from its leading to trailing edge
Downwash -- correct answer--the downward movement of air behind a wing in flight
Drag -- correct answer--a force which slows the forward movement of an aircraft in flight
dynamic -- correct answer--Forces in motion
Gravity -- correct answer--The natural force pulling everything to earth
Leading edge -- correct answer--The front of a wing or airfoil
Lift -- correct answer--the upward force that opposes gravity and supports the weight of an
aircraft
Relative wind -- correct answer--the flow of air which moves opposite the flight path of an
airplane
, 3
Thrust -- correct answer--The force that moves an aircraft forward in flight
upwash -- correct answer--the upward movement of air ahead of the wing in flight
vortex -- correct answer--a spinning column of air that is created behind the wingtip as a
result of air moving from an area of high pressure on the bottom to an area of low pressure on top
Wind -- correct answer--Air in motion
Daniel Bernoulli -- correct answer--Found that the pressure of a fluid, like air, drops when
its accelerated.
An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced outside force -- correct
answer--1st law
A force acting upon a body causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force. Acceleration is directly
proportional to the force and the inversely proportional to the mass of the body being accelerated --
correct answer--2nd law
For every action there is an opposite an equal reaction -- correct answer--3rd law
Theory of transit time -- correct answer--When the molecules of oncoming air split at the
front of the wing, they traveled over and under this airfoil and met at the back of the wing at exactly the
same time.
Vertical axis -- correct answer--Up and down axis
