Study Notes
Aircraft Components and Controls
- The path of a propeller blade is called the helix angle.
Flight Controls
- The rudder is the flight control that helps the plane yaw.
Propellers
- Lift on propellers is known as thrust.
Aircraft Wings
- Ailerons are located on the trailing edge of an aircraft wing.
- The angle of attack is the angle between the wing and the oncoming airflow.
- A dihedral wing structure provides greater stability and roll rates by increasing the distance between the left and right wings.
- Anhedral wings are downward-sloping, often seen in high-performance or aerobatic aircraft.
- The three main internal structure components of a wing are spars, ribs, and stringers.
- The ribs of a wing are found internal to the wing, providing structural support and shape.
Primary Flight Controls
- The primary flight controls of an aircraft are ailerons, elevators, and rudder.
