Aircraft in Motion
22
Mission: Identify the basic parts of a conventional airplane. Describe the three types of landing gear arrangements. Describe the Forces of Flight. EQ: Describe aircraft components, their function and how the axes of rotation, forces of flight, and flight controls surfaces contribute to understanding flight. Today’s Mission Requirements
23

Three Types Conventional (“tail dragger”) 2 fwd, 1 rear Tricycle Nose wheel and two on the side Tandem Two sets wheels one behind the other on the fuselage AV-8B / B-52– requires outrigger gear Landing Gear
46
Forces of Flight
47
Determine whether an airplane rises or falls through the air: Thrust Drag Lift Gravity (Weight) Four Forces of Flight
49
The force that pushes or pulls a plane forward through the air. Propellers, jet engines, tailwinds, and other outside sources – even catapults! – can provide needed thrust. Thrust
50
The force that resists forward motion and acts against thrust. Created by friction between the plane and the atmosphere. If the force of drag is too great, then a plane will move slower and will lose lift. Drag
51
The force of lift exceeds the plane’s weight, the plane rises. Lift
52
Earth’s gravity pulls the plane downward, giving the plane weight. Gravity / Weight
53
THRUST DRAG
