US Grade 6 - 9
Flying is magical, but it's not magic--it's science! Join a retired military pilot and aerospace science teacher in discovering the physical forces that act on every airplane in the sky--Lift, Weight, Thrust, and Drag. Explore the scientific principles behind each force and how the forces interact. Learn what aerospace engineers must consider when designing an airplane, and how pilots use the four forces of flight to make airplanes do what they want them to do! This is a discussion based...
State the four force of flight List factors that contribute to aircraft weight Explain how a wing produces lift State two main ways aircraft produce thrust Explain the types of drag and how they effect flight Explore how the four forces interact and effect each other
I served 20 years and an active duty Air Force pilot, flight instructor, and academic teacher. For the past seven years, I have taught a high school Aviation Science course. I remain an active pilot and aviation enthusiast!
