| alleron | A type of wing flap; ailerons and wing flaps are used to control the altitude of a plane. |
| airfoil | A surface shaped to provide lift when pushed through the air. |
| Bernoulli's Principle (Effect) | The REDUCTION in the pressure of a fluid (gas or liquid; could be the air) when the fluid moves MORE quickly. |
| buoyancy | the tendancy of an object to rise in a fluid (or gas like the air) when it is LESS dense than the fluid around it. |
| density | amount of mass per unit volume of a substance. |
| drag | Air resistance or any other force that SLOWS the forward motion of a bird, airplane, or other flying object. |
| lift | A force causing a bird, or aircraft to rise in the air. The wing shape has a lot to do with this. |
| Newton's Third Law of Motion | For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. |
| thrust | The force that moves a flying object forward. |
| weight | The force of gravity on an object. Tends to pull it towards the earth. |
| volume | The ammount of 3-D space an object occupies. |
