|
Horizon
|
|
| 24 |
What cases and aircraft to turn?
|
during banking the horizontal component of lift causes the aircraft to turn
|
|
| 25 |
Why do ailerons move in opposite directions?
|
to roll one wing up and the other one down simultaneously
|
|
| 26 |
Why don't flaps move in opposite directions?
|
because flaps are not control surfaces
|
|
| 27 |
What are flaps for?
|
flaps are used to increase the curvature of the wing and therefore increase lift. Flaps increase...
