Aircraft Anatomy Flashcards
(28 cards)
Imaginary line between leading and trailing edge of wing
Chord
Upper curvature of wing
Upper camber
Lower curvature of wing
Lower camber
Axis that passes through the length of the airplane
Longitudinal axis
Movement along longitudinal axis
Roll or bank
Axis passing through the fuselage at a right angle
Lateral axis
Movement along lateral axis
Pitch
Axis passing through fuselage at a right angle to both the longitudinal and latterly axes
Vertical axis
Movement along vertical axis
Yaw
All axes pass through the aircraft’s….
Center of gravity
Ailerons control…
Roll
Elevators control…
Pitch
Yaw is controlled by…
Rudder
Deflected ailerons change the (blank) of the wings
Chord
Chord changes from aileron deflection changes the (blank) of the wings
Lift
Down ailerons are in … pressure
Higher
Up ailerons are in … pressure
Lower
Drag from aileron deflection is greater on the wing with the … aileron
Down
Aileron inputs cause the aircraft to yaw to the … side of the bank
Opposite
Tendency to yaw opposite the bank is called … yaw
Adverse yaw
The rudder main purpose is to counter …
Adverse yaw
A trim tab is used to relieve the pressure/force needed to hold a control surface out of the … position
Streamlined
Trim tabs are moved … the position of the control surface to reside the pressure a pilot must use to hold the control surface into the elevator
Opposite
The position of the elevator determines the aircraft’s
Speed
