Airplane Parts Overview
![Page 22: Airplane Parts and Theory of Flight](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021118/577cdefa1a28ab9e78b03854/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Four Forces
• Lift - Provides the force to overcome gravity and
raise the airplane.
• Gravity - Invisible force from the Earth that pullsall things down.
• Thrust – Force that moves the airplane forward; it
overcomes drag.
• Drag- Friction of air on all the planes outer
surfaces to slow it down.

Thrust
• The airflow over the wings that is neededto generate lift is caused by thrusting the
aircraft forwards through the air.• Thrust is therefore the forward force
acting on an aircraft
• It is produced by the engines by throwingair backwards
![Page 25: Airplane Parts and Theory of Flight](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021118/577cdefa1a28ab9e78b03854/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Thrust
• Either a propeller can do this, or air can beexpelled from the rear (in the case of a jet
engine)

Drag
• When you’re on a bicycle, the faster yougo the more resistance you encounter
• The force which hinders your progress iscalled drag
• The same can be said for aircraft.
• Every part of the aircraft over which airflows produces drag which resists forwardmotion
![Page 27: Airplane Parts and Theory of Flight](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021118/577cdefa1a28ab9e78b03854/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Drag
• Thus the more drag there is, the morethrust isHowever to get more thrust you
need a bigger engine, more fuel and moreweight, and therefore more expense
• The aircraft’s designer wants to make the
aircraft fly at the best possible speed forthe available thrust
• Therefore he will try and reduce drag

Causes of Drag
• The shape of the aircraft causes a greatdeal of drag
• When any object moves through the air itis accompanied by a ‘wake’ of complicatededdies and vortices
• In flight, engine power which should beused for forward power is wasted inmaking these vortices
![Page 29: Airplane Parts and Theory of Flight](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021118/577cdefa1a28ab9e78b03854/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Drag
Here is an extreme
example: a flat plate
in an airflow.
The drag is greatest at
90° to the airflow
The drag is least when
it is parallel to the airflow

Thrust and Dragin Straight and Level Flight
thrust drag
•When thrust = drag, the aircrafttravels a constant speed.
•When thrust is greater than drag, theaircraft accelerates
•When drag is greater than thrust, the
aircraft slows down.

Bernoulli’s Principle
• As the wing passes through the air, the
curved upper part makes the air speed
up because it has further to go than air passing under the wing.
• As the air speeds up on top of the wing,
low pressure is created. The higher pressure under the wing creates lift.
