UNDERSTANDINGS: Students will understand that …
• U1 – Aircraft have fixed and moveable surfaces to control forces and change flight direction.
• U2 – The center of gravity of an object is where its weight is concentrated.
• U3 – Four major forces act on an aircraft flying in the Earth’s atmosphere.
• U4 – Lift and drag are generated by fluid flow around an airfoil.
• U5 – Atmospheric conditions impact aircraft performance
• U6 – Aircraft performance can be simulated in a safe and cost effective environment.
• U7 – Wind tunnels allow the performance of shapes to be tested in real fluid flow.
• U8 – Gliders are designed to fly long distances without a system to produce thrust.
