4 4 Forces of Flight

5 5 Airplanes have wings that generate lift. High-wing Low-wing

6 6 The role of airfoils

7 7 Let’s experiment.

8 8 Right and left … Up and down

9 9 Ailerons on the rear edge of the wings tilt the wings for a turn or “bank.” One moves UP as the other goes DOWN. Left turn Right turn

10 10 Moving the yoke LEFT or RIGHT moves the ailerons on the wings in opposite directions. FLIGHT CONTROLS Turning LeftTurning Right

11 11 The rudder (on the vertical stabilizer) moves the airplane’s nose left or right, helping it turn. Push left rudder pedal and the plane turns left Push right rudder pedal and the plane turns right

12 12 Pulling back on the yoke moves the elevator on the tail UP, moving the airplane nose UP to climb. FLIGHT CONTROLS

13 13 Pushing forward moves the elevator DOWN, moving the nose DOWN to descend. FLIGHT CONTROLS

14 14 Flaps on the wings change the shape of the wing to provide more lift and drag. This allows the airplane to fly more slowly. Unlike ailerlons, flaps move up or down together. Flaps down

15 15 Put it all together… …and the sky is yours.
