Flight Concept Web Project By: Josh Science #4 2001

This project is to help you understand what helps a plane fly and how the parts work together. I hope you enjoy the show.

Here is a chart to help you see what on a plane can be connected. Slats--Wings--Ailerons--Roll--Yaw-- Rudder--Elevators--Pitch--Drag--Lift

Slats- On wings and help the plane takeoff and land with the elevator. Slats can be connected to wings because they are on the wings. A description of wings is on the next slide.

Wings- Parts on the plane that have flaps, spoilers, and slats. Wings can be connected to ailerons because they are part of the wing also. A description of ailerons is on the next slide.

Ailerons- On wings and help control roll. Ailerons can be connected to roll because ailerons control roll. A description of roll is on the next slide.

Roll- Banking left or right. Roll can be connected to yaw because both roll and yaw change the direction of a plane. A description of yaw is on the next slide.

Yaw- Nose left or right. Yaw can be connected to rudder because the rudder controls yaw. A description of rudder is on the next slide.

Rudder- On vertical part of tail (fin) and control yaw. Rudder can be connected to elevators because rudders and elevators change the direction of the plane. A description of elevators is on the next slide.

Elevators- On horizontal part of tail and control pitch. Elevators can be connected to pitch because elevators control pitch. A description of pitch is on the next slide.

Pitch- Nose up or down. Pitch can be connected to drag because if there’s to much pitch there will be drag. A description of drag is on the next slide.

Drag- The force that opposes thrust. Drag can be connected to lift because if there’s to much drag the lift will be to much or not enough. A description of lift is on the next slide.

Lift- Air pressure underneath the plane is greater than above. _
