Force available for overcoming the force of gravity. A movable control surface, usually attached to the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft that is used to produce nose-up or nose-down motion (pitch). The forward-directed force developed in a propeller, jet, or rocket engine as a reaction to the high-velocity rearward ejection of air or exhaust gases. Designed or arranged to offer the least resistance to airflow. The slowing down of force exerted on a moving body by a fluid medium such as air or water. A light engineless aircraft designed to glide after being towed aloft or launched from a high location such as a building or mountain. The structure at the very front of the aircraft that is shaped in such a way as to reduce drag. (Hint: It is usually shaped like a cone or a dome) The study of the affects of bodies moving relative to gases, especially the interaction of moving objects with the atmosphere. A measure of the heaviness of an object. Either of two movable flaps on the wings of an airplane that can be used to control the plane's rolling and banking movements. To set or thrust a craft or projectile into motion. The ability of an object (such as a ship or aircraft) to maintain equilibrium or resume its original, upright position after being displaced from its original course.
