airplane flying
Ailerons are used primarily to - CORRECT ANSWER - Roll the airplane
Ailerons are located - CORRECT ANSWER - On the outer edge of the wings
Pitch makes the airplane - CORRECT ANSWER - Go up and down
Bank makes the airplane - CORRECT ANSWER - Roll or turn
The four aerodynamic forces acting on an airplane are - CORRECT ANSWER - Drag, lift,
thrust and weight
An airplane wing is designed to produce lift resulting from relatively - CORRECT
ANSWER - Positive (High) air pressure below the wings surface and negative (Low) air
pressure above the wings surface
