The Four Forces of Flight
The four forces act on the airplane in flight and also work against each other.

Weight counteracts lift.
The earth’s gravity pulls down on objects and gives them weight.

What’s it take to create lift?Air and motion.
How do we explain lift?Newton’s Laws of Motion and Bernoulli’s Principal are used to explain lift.

Newton’s Second Law: force causes a change in velocity which in turn generates another force. Newton’s Third Law: net flow of air is turned down resulting in an ‘equal and opposite’ upward force.
![Page 8: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Newton’s Third Law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Venturi TubeBernouli’s first practical use of his
theoremWhere are venturi tubes used today?
![Page 10: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Hold two sheets of paper together, as shown here, and blow between them. No matter how hard you blow, you cannot push them more than a little bit apart!
![Page 11: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bernoulli’s Theory in Action
Air speeds up in the constricted space between the car & truck creating a low-pressure area. Higher pressure on the other outside pushes them together.
![Page 12: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is a wing?
A wing is really just half a venturi tube.
![Page 13: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A fluid (and air acts like a fluid) speeds up as it moves through a constricted space
Bernoulli’s Principle states that, as air speeds up, its pressure goes down.
![Page 14: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bernoulli's Principle: slower moving air below the wing creates greater pressure and pushes up.
![Page 16: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bernoulli’s Principle: Air moving over the wing moves faster than the air below. Faster-moving air above exerts less pressure on the wing than the slower-moving air below. The result is an upward push on the wing--lift!
![Page 17: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Bernoulli’s Principal: pressure variation around the wing results in a net aerodynamic pushing up.

This US Navy Carrier Jet has a very small wing, how can it fly? Can you see the airfoil?Why is the wing small?What other aerodynamic devices can you see?

Pitch Around the Lateral Axis
![Page 28: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The ELEVATOR controls PITCH. On the horizontal tail surface, the elevator tilts up or down, decreasing or increasing lift on the tail. This tilts the nose of the airplane up and down.
Elevator Controls Pitch

Roll Around Longitudinal Axis
![Page 30: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Ailerons Control RollThe AILERONS control ROLL. On the outer rear edge of each wing, the two ailerons move in opposite directions, up and down, decreasing lift on one wing while increasing it on the other. This causes the airplane to roll to the left or right.
![Page 31: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Yaw Around the vertical Axis
![Page 32: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The RUDDER controls YAW. On the vertical tail fin, the rudder swivels from side to side, pushing the tail in a left or right direction. A pilot usually uses the rudder along with the ailerons to turn the airplane.
Rudder Controls Yaw

Which of these airplanes will speed up?
Which will slow down?

Drag is the force of resistance an aircraft ‘feels’ as it moves through the air.
![Page 44: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

For an airplane to speed up while flying, thrust must be greater than drag.
For an airplane to take off, lift must be greater than weight.
![Page 46: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Engines (either jet or propeller) typically provide the thrust for aircraft. When you fly a paper airplane, you generate the thrust.
![Page 47: Fundamentals of Flight](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/568164f0550346895dd75ab1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
A propeller is a spinning wing that generates lift forward.
