EFAV2 FS2013 Vocabulary II

A machine that uses combustion to create energy.

The parts of the airplane located at the tail end.

Control surfaces on the horizontal part of the tail that are used to make the airplane twitch.

The force that resists the motion of the aircraft through the air.

The upward angle of the wings that is formed where the wings connect to the fuselage

To put in use or action.

A sweepback wing that looks like a triangle from above.

To turn in a different direction.

To slow down.

Daten

Devices which allow the pilot to direct the movements of an aircraft.

Parts of an aircraft that are activated by the controls to change the airflow around the surfaces of the aircraft.

The science of using supercomputers to solve complex mathematical equations that predict how an object like an aircraft responds to the air flowing around it.

The business of operating aircraft that carry passengers by companies.

It is the first component in the engine core. It is made up of fans with many blades and it is attaached to the shaft.

Location in the engine where the air is mixed with fuel and then ignited.

A compartment in the front of the airplane where the flight crew performs their job of flying the aircraft.

A line from the front of an airfoil (the leading edge) to the trailing edge.

The force of gravity acts on every individual part of an object, like an airplane. However engineers often treat the force of gravity on all the parts of an object as a single force acting on a point in the object.

A tail configuration (two small horizontal surfaces on either side of the aircraft) mounted toward the front of the aircraft, rather than at the rear.

The curve of an airfoil.

An airplane with two sets of wings.

Opposing forces that are pushing or pulling against each other an equal amount.

A straight line, through the center of gravity, around which an aircraft rotates.

Position of the airplane relative to the horizon.

The angle of a wing to the oncoming airflow.

To take something apart so it can be examined and studied.

The height of an object, like an airplane, above sea level or above the earth's surface.

The height of an object, like an airplane, above sea level or above the earth's surface.

The force created by air pushing on a surface.

an aircraft that uses the force of air on its wings to fly.

An object with a special shape that is designed to produce lift efficiently when the object is moved through the air.

The motion of air molecules as they flow around an object, such as a wing.

A machine used for flying.

Control surfaces on the trailing edge of each wing that are used to make the aircraft roll.

The study of flight and the science of building and operation an aircraft.

A field of fluid dynamics that studies how gases, including air, flow and how forces act upon objects moving through air.

a piece of equipment for receiving or sending radio or television signals, usually consisting of a piece of metal or wire:

To speed up.
