Explain the purpose of a bird's wing in flight.
Explain the purpose of a bird's wing in flight.
It has an airfoil shape which creates lift.
Explain the purpose of the shape of the bird in flight.
Explain the purpose of the shape of the bird in flight.
Stream lined shape = less resistance
Explain the purpose of a bird's stong chest muscles.
Explain the purpose of a bird's stong chest muscles.
Stronger muscles means that the bird can flap it's wings more often.
Explain the purpose of a bird's hollow bones.
Explain the purpose of a bird's hollow bones.
Makes the bird lighter.
Explain the purpose of a bird's tail.
Explain the purpose of a bird's tail.
It acts as a rudder.
What part on the airplane controls yaw.
What part on the airplane controls yaw.
Rudder
This part is located on the horizontal stabilizer. What is it and what movement does it make happen?
This part is located on the horizontal stabilizer. What is it and what movement does it make happen?
Elevators, pitch
Where are the ailerons located and what movement does it control?
Where are the ailerons located and what movement does it control?
Wings, bank/roll
What is the purpose of the horizontal and vertical stabilizers?
What is the purpose of the horizontal and vertical stabilizers?
Horizontal stabilizer stabilizes the airplane on the horizontal axis. Vertical stabilizer stabilizes the airplane on the vertical axis.
What is the purpose of the flaps?
What is the purpose of the flaps?
During take-off it goes down to create greater lift. During landing, it goes up to create greater resistance.
Why do birds and airplanes have wings in the shape of an airfoil?
Why do birds and airplanes have wings in the shape of an airfoil?
The shape is there so that lower pressure is created on the top of the wing which means that there is higher pressure underneath the wing creating lift.
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
Faster moving air creates lower pressure
What are the 4 forces that are acting on flying objects?
What are the 4 forces that are acting on flying objects?
Lift, thrust, drag, and gravity
What would happen if the force of lift was greater than the force of gravity on an airplane?
What would happen if the force of lift was greater than the force of gravity on an airplane?
The airplane would keep rising.
Why do birds have extra lung sacs?
Why do birds have extra lung sacs?
Flying takes a lot of energy, so birds need more oxygen to help them fly.
What is the purpose of a parachute?
What is the purpose of a parachute?
A parachute creates greater resistance so that the load falls to the ground at a slower rate.
Which part of a helicopter controls yaw?
Which part of a helicopter controls yaw?
The propeller on the tail.
Nane 3 different ways a helicopter can move.
Nane 3 different ways a helicopter can move.
Forwards, backwards, side to side, etc.
Explain how a spacecraft gets lift.
Explain how a spacecraft gets lift.
It uses jet engines to propel it upwards. The jet engine acts like the compressed air in a balloon and creates thrust.
Name 2 variables that affect the effectiveness of a parachute. Explain how they affect it.
Name 2 variables that affect the effectiveness of a parachute. Explain how they affect it.
Shroud lines, size of hole, weight of load, size of the parachute, material of the parachute.
An airplane is descending and turning left. Explain how the elevators, ailerons, rudder and flaps are positioned.
An airplane is descending and turning left. Explain how the elevators, ailerons, rudder and flaps are positioned.
Flaps = upwards, Elevators = down, Rudder = turned to the left, Ailerons = left aileron up, right aileron down
