  1. 1. Aerospace – The study of how things fly.

  2. 2. Aerodynamics – Forces of air on an object moving through it.

  3. 3. Ailerons – Flaps on wings that will increase or decrease lift.

  4. 4.Airfoil – A shape, like the wedge-shaped wing of an airplane, that is designed to speed up the air passing over the top surface.

  5. 5. Bernoulli effect – States that a fast-moving fluid exerts less pressure than a slow-moving fluid.

  6. 6. Drag – The force of fluid friction on moving objects

  7. 7. fluid friction – created when particles of air contact a moving object. It causes the resistance an object feels as it moves through the air.

  8. 8. Force – a push or pull that transfers energy to an object. Forces can be internal (inside) or external (outside).

  9. 9. Gravity – a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth.

  10. 10. Inertia – the tendency of an object to remain still or to continue to move in the same straight line unless an outside force acts upon it.

  11. Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion • Inertia – a body at rest will remain at rest • A change in motion is proportional to the force acting on it • For every action that is an equal and opposite reaction.
