Aerospace Engineering Practice

AB
LIftAn upward force that opposes gravity.
3rd Law of MotionFor every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
AileronsSmall hinged sections on the outboard portion of a wing
Trade-offsEngineers can improve a system in one area, but by making this improvement it can worsen the system's performance in another area
Bernoulli EffectStates that a fast-moving fluid exerts less pressure than a slow-moving fluid
1st Law of MotionEvery object in a state of rest or uniform motion remains in that state unless an external force is applied (also known as inertia)
ForceA push or a pull that transfers energy to an object
RudderA hinged section at the rear of the vertical stabilizer
AerospaceThe study of how things fly
NewtonA measurement of force
GravityA force that pulls objects toward the center of the earth
CockpitPart of the aircraft where the pilot sits
AerodynamicsThe study of the forces of air on an object moving through it
FrictionA resistance or rubbing action that opposes motion to slow down an object
2nd Law of MotionThe rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force acting on it
PropulsionTo push forward or drive an object forward
PitchAn up or down movement of the nose of the aircraft
SatellitesAn artificial body placed in orbit around the earth or moon or another planet in order to collect information or for communication
Sonic BoomShock waves caused by an object moving at supersonic speed
YawA side to side movement of the nose of the aircraft
