Understanding Flight: The Four Forces of Air and Hot Air Properties
This review unit explores the fundamental principles of flight, focusing on the four key forces: thrust, drag, lift, and gravity. You will learn how air properties change when heated and the principles behind hot air rising. Prepare to label important components like ailerons and the rudder, and understand concepts such as angle of attack and airfoil design. Use your textbook resources, glossary, and hands-on activities, including kite flying, to deepen your comprehension of these aviation concepts.

Presentation Transcript
Unit on flight Review for test
Hot air • Look up the four properties of air and state what happens when air is heated. (source: wiki space, lab on hot air rises)
Be prepared to label terms Parts: • Ailerons • Rudder And the four forces • Rudder • Thrust • Drag • Lift • Gravity • Sources: page 17 and 23,page 31 student book • Trip to airport hand outs
Study the terms in the glossary • Page 46 • Specifically • Thrust • Drag • Gravity • Lift • Angle of attack( page 20-23 student book) • Rudder • Pitch ,yaw, roll –( films and trip) • Bernoulli’s principle –(page17) • Fuselage • aileron
More things to study • Know the four forces you experience daily and describe them. • Tell me about flying kites, why do they need an angle ? (Lesson 9,page 30)
Lesson 6 page 20 • What is a good shape for a wing ? • Explain why . • Draw a wing and show how the forces flow over and under it ? • Know the term airfoil
How to study • http://www.wikihow.com/Study-for-a-Test • Have you sources ready – your notes, missing some check with a friend • Review the wikispace • Read through student book • Quiz a friend • Draw pictures of concepts • Know the terms in glossary
