Principles of Flight - Key Terms

Nom ___________________
Horizontales
The front part of a spear or arrow that connects to the main shaft and often holds the arrowhead.
The study of how air moves around objects and the forces acting on those objects in flight.
The pointed tip of an arrow, designed to penetrate targets and increase accuracy.
To remain suspended in the air without moving up or down, commonly associated with helicopters and hovercraft.
An engine that produces thrust by expelling high-speed exhaust gases, used in many modern aircraft.
The main body of an aircraft that houses passengers, cargo, and the cockpit.
An engine that generates power by burning fuel within the engine itself, commonly used in automobiles and some aircraft.
The angle between the chord line of a wing and the oncoming air, which influences lift and drag.
The force that attracts objects toward the Earth, impacting flight by pulling objects downward.
The force that opposes an object's motion through air, causing it to slow down; it acts in the opposite direction of thrust.
To drive or push something forward, particularly in reference to engines or mechanisms that create motion.
A vehicle that travels just above the ground or water on a cushion of air created by fans, allowing it to move over various surfaces.
A robotic arm used on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station for maneuvering payloads and assisting in assembly and maintenance tasks.
An original model of a flying device used for testing and development, often used to evaluate design concepts.
A tool used to throw darts or spears more effectively by providing leverage and increasing the distance and speed of the projectile.
Lines used to secure or control a flying device, such as a balloon or kite, to prevent it from drifting away.
Structural components in an aircraft that support the wings or other parts and help maintain the shape and integrity of the aircraft.
A device with blades that creates thrust by rotating and pushing air or water backward.
The force that moves an object forward, generated by engines or other propulsion methods.
Verticales
Engines that produce thrust by expelling gas at high speed, often used in space travel and launching vehicles.
The force exerted by the weight of air above an object, which can affect lift and movement.
The point at which an object moves faster than the speed of sound, resulting in a sonic boom.
The amount of matter in an object, which affects its weight and the forces acting upon it.
The process of shaping stones to create tools or weapons, such as arrowheads, by striking them to remove flakes.
The layer of gases surrounding the Earth, which is essential for flight as it provides the medium through which aircraft move.
The feathers or vanes attached to the shaft of an arrow that stabilize its flight and improve accuracy.
The upward force that allows an object to rise or remain in the air, counteracting gravity.
A push or pull acting on an object that can cause it to move or change direction.
A document that describes the design, construction, and testing of a device or system, outlining methods and results.
The cargo or weight that a flying device carries during flight, such as passengers, equipment, or supplies.
Factors that can change in an experiment, affecting the results and outcomes.
A series of sounding rockets used for atmospheric research and testing, named after a species of goose
A Canadian supersonic jet interceptor aircraft designed in the 1950s, known for its advanced technology and design.
A small, pointed projectile designed for throwing, often used in conjunction with an atlatl.
