  1. Flight Simulator X By Dane Wrye, Aaron Pena, and Ben Ghusn

  2. About Our Station • Flight Simulator X is a simulator • It simulates piloting a real plane • You can fly a multitude of planes • You can also select where to take off • As well as how you take off • And you can even change the weather!

  3. Objectives/Essential Question • We want to be able to answer all the questions on the provided sheet. • We want to be able to do a barrel roll in a helicopter. • We want to be able to successfully land an airliner. • We want to be able to fly a jet through the Golden Gate Bridge. • We want to be able to perform tricks on a jet • Can we take what we learned from Flight Simulation and apply it to real airplanes? What did we use? • Flight simulator yoke • Flight simulator X • Mrs. Young and Andrew

  4. Vocabulary • Alleron • Wing • Lift • Rotor • Elevator • Rudder • Stabilizers (horizontal and vertical) • Cockpit • Fuselage • Empennage • Pitch • Roll • Yaw • Thrust

  5. Key Concepts • Newton’s third law • For each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction • Bernoulli’s Principle • Air moves faster over the wing • Air moves slower under the wing • Above wing has lower pressure • Under wing has higher pressure • Difference in pressure creates lift • The Four Forces • Covered next slide

  7. Planes and Helicopters Basic Parts

  8. Helicopters

  9. Planes

  10. Because flying a real plane isn’t hard enough How to Fly

  11. The Yoke Moving this around adjusts your camera in spot and cockpit view. This button changes your view This deploys and retracts your landing gear This button activates brakes Push and pull to control pitch (controls your elevators) Turn left and right to control roll (controls ailerons) This scroll wheel also changes you view

  12. The Yoke The black lever controls engine speed These levers are secondary engine controls (helps to go faster)

  13. What We Did

  14. Pitch, Roll, and Yaw Flight Dynamics

  15. Pitch • The angle of the nose • The displayed helicopter has a downward pitch • Controlled by elevators on a plane • Occurs along the Lateral Axis

  16. Yaw • The side to side movement of an aircraft • Allows the aircraft to move horizontally • Controlled by rudder on plane • Occurs along the vertical axis

  17. Roll • The rising/dipping of an aircraft’s wings • Isn’t really used by commercial airliners • Airliners typically use gentle rolling to turn • Controlled by the ailerons on the wing • Occurs along the Longitudinal Axis

  18. Vertical Axis (Yaw) Diagrams Lateral Axis (Pitch) Longitudinal Axis (Roll)

  19. History of Flight • 1783- Hot air balloon first invented • 1799-1850- George Cayell researched flight, and designed gliders • 1889- Otto Lilienthal published aerodynamics book • 1903- Wright Brothers construct “The Flyer” • 1905- Wright Brothers construct their next plane

  20. The Interview Show • Did you achieve your goals? • What helped you learn how to use the technology? • Was it too easy, too hard, or just right? • What can you pass on to the next group? • What standards do you feel you have achieved?
