Aircraft Control
Description
Have you ever stuck your hand out the window of a moving vehicle and felt the pressure on your hand? Have you flown your hand, raising and lowering it by changing its pitch or angle? Aircraft also deflect airflow to change direction. In this activity you will identify the components of an aircraft. You will explore aircraft control and stability about the threes axis of flight.
Conclusion Questions
1. The main factor that will affect the center of gravity in an aircraft is weight distribution.
2. Calculating the center of gravity is important because it makes sure the pilot's plane is within the allowable flight range.
