LATERAL AXIS
LATERAL AXIS
 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.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF AIRCRAFT ENGINES ARE

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

ANGLE OF INCIDENCE
 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
 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.
