Flight

Two types of flightGliding- no power

neededTrue – uses some kind

of power

ThrustForce that pushes

object forward

Airfoil

A curved shape of a wing to produce lift

Angle of AttackThe angle at which a wing meets the

flow of air

Bernoulli’s Principle

-as the speed of a fluid increases its

pressure decreases

Lift

The force created as air moves over an

airfoil shape or airplane wing

dragFriction with the

air

weight- the force that gravity exerts

on a body

fuselage

Tail assembly
