Study Notes
Aerodynamic Forces in Flight
- Four aerodynamic forces act on an airplane in flight in equilibrium: lift, weight, thrust, and drag.
Wing Support in Flight
- Lift, produced by the wings, supports the airplane in flight.
Wing Camber and Flaps
- When flaps are lowered, the camber of the wing increases.
Airplane Motion
- Rolling refers to the rotation of an airplane around its longitudinal axis (left/right movement).
Turning in Flight
- An airplane turns as a result of the forces: lift, weight, thrust, and drag, which create a net force perpendicular to the flight path, causing the plane to turn.
