Q

What are the basic fundamental physics of flight?

A
Acceleration
Speed
Velocity
Force
Inertia
2
Q

Newton’s 1st law

A

Object at rest will remain at rest or remain in motion until acted upon by outside force

3
Q

Newton’s 2nd law

A

Object moving in uniform speed is acted upon external force will be directly proportional to amount of force and proportional to the mass of object being moved

4
Q

Newton’s 3rd law

A

Every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

5
Q

Bernoulli’s principle

A

Fluid passing through construction is increased and it’s pressure decreased

6
Q

What are the principles of flight and aeronautic terms?

A

Lift
Weight
Drag
Thrust

7
Q

What are the aircraft axis?

A

Longitudinal axis
Lateral axis
Vertical axis

8
Q

Longitudinal axis

A

Imaginary ref line running down center of aircraft between nose and tail

9
Q

Lateral axis

A

Imaginary ref line running parallel to the wings

10
Q

Vertical axis

A

Imaginary ref running from top to bottom of aircraft

11
Q

What do ailerons control?

A

Roll / longitudinal axis

12
Q

What do elevators control?

A

Pitch - lateral axis

13
Q

Who do rudders control?

A

Yaw - vertical axis

14
Q

What tilts the plane (angle)? Controls roll/pitch

A
