 Three Types  Conventional (“tail dragger”)  2 fwd, 1 rear  Tricycle  Nose wheel and two on the side  Tandem  Two sets wheels one behind the other on the fuselage  AV-8B / B-52– requires outrigger gear Landing Gear

Forces of Flight

Determine whether an airplane rises or falls through the air: Thrust Drag Lift Gravity (Weight) Four Forces of Flight

The force that pushes or pulls a plane forward through the air. Propellers, jet engines, tailwinds, and other outside sources – even catapults! – can provide needed thrust. Thrust

The force that resists forward motion and acts against thrust. Created by friction between the plane and the atmosphere. If the force of drag is too great, then a plane will move slower and will lose lift. Drag

The force of lift exceeds the plane’s weight, the plane rises. Lift

Earth’s gravity pulls the plane downward, giving the plane weight. Gravity / Weight

THRUST DRAG
