The Forces of Flight

1

Multiple ______________ affects the plane's speed and direction?

1

How do the four forces of flight make an aircraft move?

1

During a flight, an airplane's weight _________________ changes as the aircraft burns fuel.

1

Magnitude is represented by a ________________.

0

Direction is represented by

1

The force of gravity's magnitude is how strong its pull and ________________ is toward the center of the earth.

1

Lift is the downward force that enables an aircraft to raise off the ground and remain in flight.

1

The downward pull of the gravity on the aircraft is called weight.

1

Lift's magnitude does not depend on which one of these factors?

1

The bigger the total mass is, the smaller the magnitude of the weight.

1

Lift pulls the airplane in a direction perpendicular to the direction the airplane is moving.

1

Thrust is the force that propels an aircraft forward.

1

Drag is the force of resistance that works against the __________ movement of an aircraft through the air.

1

The force applied by the air molecules onto the airplane’s surfaces is the force of ___________.

1

When an airplane moves through the air, the airplane pushes against the air, and the air pulls the airplane.

1

Thrust's magnitude depends on type of engine, ______________, and throttle setting.

1

Drag's magnitude does not depend on which of the following:

1

Thrust propels, or pushes, in the direction of motion. However, direction depends on how the engines are attached to the aircraft (perpendicular to the plane's body or on and angle).

1

Drag pushes _________________ the direction of the airplane's motion.
