Air And Aerodynamics

1. What does the engine do?

Provides the power for takeoff and landing and sustains flight

Retractable trailing edge of a wing

Section of the plane housing the elevator, stabalizer, fin, and rudder

2. What does then propeller do?

Is a fan for cooling water

Powered by the engine and provides thrust

Control center where pilot is

It is a turning blade located around the spinner.

Explanation

It is a turning blade located around the spinner.

4. What is/ does the elevator do?

Provides the power for takeoff

Moves up or down to adjust the pitch of the aircraft

An airplane's airfoil

The elevator is located on the horizontal part of the tail section .

Explanation

The elevator is located on the horizontal part of the tail section .

5. What is the cockpit?

Powered by the engine and providing thrust

The pilot moves the stick to one side

Control center where pilot, instrumentation, and navigational aids are located

The cockpit is practically where the cargo and passengers are located/put in.

Explanation

The cockpit is practically where the cargo and passengers are located/put in.

7. What does a wing do?

Raises one aileron while lowering the other.

Produces lift as the aircraft moves through the air

Flaps itself to produce wind and then forces itself to lift into the air.

It is an airplane's airfoil,it has two movable controls the ailerons and flaps.

Explanation

It is an airplane's airfoil,it has two movable controls the ailerons and flaps.

8. What does the tail have inside/house?

Elevator, stabilizer, fin, and rudder

Elevator, wing, nose, and rudder

Propeller, stabilizer, flap, and yaw

9. What does the rudder do?

Part of the shaft that covers the center

Pressing down on the pedals turns the rudder

Moves left or right to stabilize the aircraft during crosswind takeoff

vertical part of the tail section also stabilizes the aircraft during landing or in severe wind conditions.

Explanation

vertical part of the tail section also stabilizes the aircraft during landing or in severe wind conditions.

10. What does the aileron do?

Moves down to increase wing surface and increase lift on takeoff

On the outer edge of a wing that move up and down makes the plane roll

Carries cargo

The aileron is located on the outer edge of the wing. (flaps are in the inner side)
*a way to remember is that "a" comes before "f"!

Explanation

The aileron is located on the outer edge of the wing. (flaps are in the inner side)
*a way to remember is that "a" comes before "f"!

11. What does the flap do?

To stabilize the aircraft during crosswind

Part of the shaft that covers the center of the propeller and helps smooth the airflow over the engine

Moves down to increase wing surface and increase lift on takeoff

12. The spinner helps smooth the airflow over the engine.

True

False

Part of the shaft that covers the center of the propeller.

Explanation

Part of the shaft that covers the center of the propeller.
