12 Physics of Flight - Lift Build-It-Yourself.com Flying Machines Lift > Gravity

13 Physics of Flight - Lift Build-It-Yourself.com To fly, the ‘Lift’ must be > than the weight of the plane. The general airplane lift equation: where: L is the lift (in pounds), ρ is the air density, Flying Machines ρL = ½ S V 2 C L > Weight of plane

14 Physics of Flight - Lift Build-It-Yourself.com To fly, the ‘Lift’ must be > than the weight of the plane. The general airplane lift equation: where: L is the lift (in pounds), ρ is the air density, S is the area of the wing, Flying Machines L =ρS ½ ρ V 2 C L > Weight of plane

15 Physics of Flight - Lift Build-It-Yourself.com To fly, the ‘Lift’ must be > than the weight of the plane. The general airplane lift equation: where: L is the lift (in pounds), ρ is the air density, S is the planform area of the wing, and V is the airspeed of the airplane. According to this formula, which airplane factor is the most important? Flying Machines V 2 L = ½ ρS C L > Weight of plane

16 Physics of Flight - Lift Build-It-Yourself.com To fly, the ‘Lift’ must be > than the weight of the plane. The general airplane lift equation: where: L is the lift (in pounds), ρ is the air density, S is the planform area of the wing, and V is the true airspeed of the airplane. is the lift coefficient which factors complex shape design. Flying Machines L = ½ ρS V 2 C L C L > Weight of plane Slow Moving Air - More Pressure Lift Fast Moving Air - Less Pressure Gravity

17 Physics of Flight - Lift Build-It-Yourself.com Flying Machines Videos of how speed and air flow can create lift > gravity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9FsYDEIZWk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP_yTyfdmBQ&featu re=endscreen&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmAnzrVO44s&NR=1&feat ure=endscreen

18 Physics of Flight – Center of Gravity Build-It-Yourself.com The center of gravity will determine if your plane will dive, stall, or glide straight. Position a paper clip along your fuselage to experiment. Flying Machines Paper clip too far forward Paper clip too far to the rear Paper clip just right

19 Physics of Flight - Control Build-It-Yourself.com Flying Machines

20 Build-It-Yourself.com Wing angle down will make your plane roll and fly upside down. Flying Machines Front views Wing angle up will make your plane fly stable. Physics of Flight - Control

21 Build-It-Yourself.com Ailerons (wing flaps) will make a plane turn and create lift or drag. Flying Machines

22 Physics of Flight - Control Build-It-Yourself.com Tail fins (or vertical stabilizers) help control yaw. Flying Machines

23 Physics of Flight – Wright Brothers Build-It-Yourself.com Calculate how fast the 1903 Wright Brothers plane had to go to get off the ground. http://wright.nasa.gov/airplane/lifteq.html - PSI at sea level is 14.7 - Wing area = 40 x 6 x 2 sq. ft. - Weight = 750lbs - Angle of attack = 5 degrees - Speed of sound = 760mph - Speed of passenger get = 560mph - Speed of Wright Bros. Plane = ?????? Flying Machines
