above ground level
what AGL stands for?
Air
mixture of gases that contain approximately 79% nitrogen, 19% oxygen and 2 other gases
aircraft
any machine that is capable of flying through the air
airplane
an aircraft that is kept aloft by the aerodynamic forces upon its wings and is thrust forward by a propeller, or other means of propulsion such as a jet or rocket
airfoil
component, such as a wing, that is specifically designed to produce lift, thrust or directional stability
airport
a place on either land or water where aircraft can land and take off for flight
altitude
height expressed in units above sea level. or ground level
aviation
art, science and technology of flight within the atmosphere
aviator
a person who operates an aircraft during flight
camber
the curved part of an airfoil that goes from the leading to the trailing edge
rotocraft
An aircraft that derives its lift from rotating lifting surfaces(usually called blades).
glider
It is a fixed wing aircraft that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces, and whose free flight does not supported on an engine.
Ornithopters
flying machine designed by leonardo da vinci
Otto Lilienthal
died due to glider crash
George Cayley
The True Inventor of the Airplane.
George Cayley
Who is the father of Aeronautics?
Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier
Who design and construction of the balloon?
Henri Giffard
Designed a round oval shaped balloon called a blimp and combined it with a steam engine to make it steerable.
Orville or Wilbur Wright
Inventors of the First Practical Airplane.
sheep, rooster, duck
the 3 caged animals on the balloon made by montgolfier brothers
Pilatre de Rozier and Marquiz d’Arlandes
first human passengers of hot air balloon
Amelia Earheart
first woman to fly across the atlantic
aviation
term that refers to design, development, production, operation and use of aircraft especially heavier than air
aviation
branch of science, business, or technology that deals with any part of operation of machines that fly through air
heavier than air, lighter than air
types of aircraft/ aircraft classification
Balloon
unpowered lighter than aircraft
rockets
It obtain thrust from a rocket engine
transport
refers to airline and other large aircraft that exceed certain limit
commuters
aircraft that is designed to carry passenger
restricted
for special purpose only
limited
refers to military aircraft that are new allowed to be used only for limited purpose in civil aviation
aerobatic
aircraft used for new design concept
provisional
an intern measure which has not met all requirements for initial certification but still can be operated for special purpose
aerobatic
aircraft have fewest operating limitation demand more strength than those of the normal / utility category
normal/utility
common to most all airplanes both of those category depending on how they are loaded
chord
a line drawn through an airfoil from its leading to its trailing edge
drag
a force which retards the forward movement of an aircraft in flight
drag
opposite of thrust
thrust
opposite of drag
lift
opposite of gravity
gravity
opposite of lift
leading edge
front part of airfoil
lift
the upward force which opposes gravity, that supports the weight of an aircraft
relative wind
the flow of air which proves opposite the flight path of an airplane
static
standing still or without motion
supersonic
faster than the speed of sound
subsnoic
below the speed of sound
thrust
the force which moves an aircraft forward in flight
trailing edge
back part of an airfoil
wind
air in motion
