Theory of flight

AB
pitchnose of aircraft moves up/down in respect to horizon. Moving elevators up/down makes nose rise and drop
yawwhen the nose of the aircraft moves side to side
rollbank-the motion when one wing goes up and the other down
air foilshape of wing.splits airlow
rudderattached to vertical stablizer control motion of aircraft left to right
slatsleading (front edge) of the wing similiar flaps increase surface of wing improe low speed capability when taking off or landing
aileronslocated outboard end of the trailing edge of both wings used to turn when in flight. Oppose one up one down
flapslocated on trailing edge of wing. Improve low speed cap when taking off and landing. works together
stablizer verticalkeeps nose from swinging side to side.back of plane upright
stablizer horizontalback sides of plane. prevents up and down nose motion
elevatorattached to horizontal stablizer used to control nose of aircraft moving up and down
liftupward force generated by the wings
weightgravity acting on the total mass of the aircraft and all its contents
thrustforward force produced by the aircrafts engines
dragair resisitence against the aircraft that tends to slow it down
