Two types of flightGliding- no power
neededTrue – uses some kind
of power
ThrustForce that pushes
object forward
Airfoil
A curved shape of a wing to produce lift
Angle of AttackThe angle at which a wing meets the
flow of air
Bernoulli’s Principle
-as the speed of a fluid increases its
pressure decreases
Lift
The force created as air moves over an
airfoil shape or airplane wing
dragFriction with the
air
weight- the force that gravity exerts
on a body
