AILERON
Longitudinal axis extends lengthwise from the nose through the tail. Movement about the longitudinal axis is called roll. Roll is controlled by the ailerons.

ELEVATOR
Lateral axis extends crosswise from wingtip through wingtip. Movement about the lateral axis is called pitch. Pitch is controlled by the elevator.

RUDDER
Vertical axis passes vertically through the center of gravity (when the aircraft is in level flight). Movement about the vertical axis is called yaw. Yaw is controlled by the rudder.

AIRFOIL
AN AIRFOIL IS A SURFACE DESIGNED TO OBTAIN A DESIRABLE REACTION FROM THE AIR THROUGH WHICH IT MOVES AIRFOIL GEOMETRY

CHORD LINE MEAN CAMBER LINE ANGLE OF ATTACK ANGLE OF INCIDENCE

FOUR FORCES OF FLIGHT

DRAG
DRAG IS THE RESOLVED COMPONENT OF THE COMPLETE AERODYNAMIC FORCE WHICH IS PARALLEL TO THE FLIGHT DIRECTION (OR RELATIVE ONCOMING AIRFLOW). IT MUST ALWAYS ACT TO OPPOSE THE DIRECTION OF MOTION. IT IS THE UNDESIRABLE COMPONENT OF THE AERODYNAMIC FORCE WHILE LIFT IS THE DESIRABLE COMPONENT

TOPICS TO BE COVERED
Why should we study properties of atmosphere? Variation of Temperature with Altitude Variation of Pressure with Altitude Variation of Density with Altitude Tables of Standard Atmosphere

Why should we study Atmospheric Properties

Engineers design flight vehicles, turbine engines and rockets that will operate at various altitudes. They can not design these unless the atmospheric characteristics are not known. For example,

CL

L 1 2 V S 2

What is a standard atmosphere?

Weather conditions vary around the globe, from day to day. Taking all these variations into design is impractical. A standard atmosphere is therefore defined, that relates fight tests, wind tunnel tests and general airplane design to a common reference. This common reference is called a standard atmosphere.

Powered Controls
May take one of two basic forms: Servo-assisted
Hydraulic pressure transmitted to servo actuator which assists mechanical linkage to move surface. Linkage still available if power is lost but system then very heavy to operate.

Fully power-operated
Control signals transmitted hydraulically, electrically (fly-by-wire) or optically (fly-by-light).
