HOW FLIGHT WORKS

PRESENTATIONBY BLAISE AND NICK

4 Forces - LiftLift is the force that acts against the weight of the plane and moves the plane in the air. Flight is effected because this makes the airplane go higher.

4 Forces - Drag

Drag is the force that acts against the movement of the plane.

4 Forces - Weight

Weight is the force of gravity pulling the aircraft down.

4 Forces - Thrust

Thrust is the force that moves straight, or sends the

aircraft forward. Thrust is

crucial for flight to commence.

Air Foil - Bernoulli’s Principal

Bernoulli’s Principal is a formula created by David Bernoulli. The equation expresses how the plane can lift up by the shape of its wings.

Size and Shape of the Air Foil

The amount of lift generated depends on how much the high pressure (the air on the top of the wing) is turned. When the air splits, passes, and rejoins this creates a upward movement, or lift.
