2. Flight Simulator X By Dane Wrye, Aaron Pena, and Ben Ghusn

3. About Our Station Flight Simulator X is a simulator It simulates piloting a real plane You can fly a multitude of planes You can also select where to take off –As well as how you take off –And you can even change the weather!

4. Objectives/Essential Question We want to be able to answer all the questions on the provided sheet. We want to be able to do a barrel roll in a helicopter. We want to be able to successfully land an airliner. We want to be able to fly a jet through the Golden Gate Bridge. We want to be able to perform tricks on a jet Can we take what we learned from Flight Simulation and apply it to real airplanes? What did we use? Flight simulator yoke Flight simulator X Mrs. Young and Andrew

5. Vocabulary Alleron Wing Lift Rotor Elevator Rudder Stabilizers (horizontal and vertical) Cockpit Fuselage Empennage Pitch Roll Yaw Thrust

6. Key Concepts Newton’s third law –For each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction Bernoulli’s Principle –Air moves faster over the wing –Air moves slower under the wing –Above wing has lower pressure –Under wing has higher pressure –Difference in pressure creates lift The Four Forces –Covered next slide

7. The Four Forces

8. BASIC PARTS Planes and Helicopters

9. Helicopters

10. Planes

11. HOW TO FLY Because flying a real plane isn’t hard enough

12. The Yoke This button changes your view This deploys and retracts your landing gear Moving this around adjusts your camera in spot and cockpit view. This button activates brakes This scroll wheel also changes you view Push and pull to control pitch (controls your elevators) Turn left and right to control roll (controls ailerons)

13. The Yoke The black lever controls engine speed These levers are secondary engine controls (helps to go faster)

14. What We Did

15. FLIGHT DYNAMICS Pitch, Roll, and Yaw

16. Pitch The angle of the nose The displayed helicopter has a downward pitch Controlled by elevators on a plane Occurs along the Lateral Axis

17. Yaw The side to side movement of an aircraft Allows the aircraft to move horizontally Controlled by rudder on plane Occurs along the vertical axis

18. Roll The rising/dipping of an aircraft’s wings Isn’t really used by commercial airliners –Airliners typically use gentle rolling to turn Controlled by the ailerons on the wing Occurs along the Longitudinal Axis

19. Diagrams Vertical Axis (Yaw) Lateral Axis (Pitch) Longitudinal Axis (Roll)

20. History of Flight 1783- Hot air balloon first invented 1799-1850- George Cayell researched flight, and designed gliders 1889- Otto Lilienthal published aerodynamics book 1903- Wright Brothers construct “The Flyer” 1905- Wright Brothers construct their next plane

21. The Interview Show Did you achieve your goals? What helped you learn how to use the technology? Was it too easy, too hard, or just right? What can you pass on to the next group? What standards do you feel you have achieved?
