Topic 1: 5

This aircraft can fly faster than the speed of sound, and does not have a propeller.

Jet

Topic 1: 10This aircraft has a large wingspan but no engine.

Glider

Topic 1: 15

This is type of aircraft without wings capable of vertical takeoff and landing.

Helicopter

Topic 1: 20

This vehicle creates lift without an airfoil.

Hot Air Balloon

Topic 1: 25

This type of aircraft does not carry passengers or has a pilot onboard.

UAV

Topic 2: 5

This instrument is used to determine a plane’s height above ground.

Altimeter

Topic 2: 10

This device allows a pilot to communicate with air traffic control and other aircraft.

Radio

Topic 2: 15

This instrument shows a plane’s relationship to the horizon.

Attitude Indicator

Topic 2: 20

This instrument always points to magnetic north and aids in navigation.

Compass

Topic 2: 25

This instrument shows how fast the engine is running.

Tachometer

Topic 3: 5This control surface on an aircraft moves up and down to control pitch.

Elevator

Topic 3: 10

These parts of a wing deflect to control roll.

Ailerons

Topic 3: 15

Located at the front of some aircraft, this twisted airfoil spins to produce thrust.

Propeller

Topic 3: 20This part of the wing extends to change an aircraft’s lift and drag.

Flaps

Topic 3: 25

This control surface moves side to side to yaw the aircraft.

Rudder

Topic 4: 5

This force acts opposite of thrust.

Drag

Topic 4: 10

This number is used to describe the ratio of an aircraft’s speed to the speed of sound.

Mach Number

Topic 4: 15

This is the aircraft’s motion about its y-axis.

Pitch

Topic 4: 20

This condition occurs when an aircraft’s angle of attack is high enough to cause flow separation.

Stall

Topic 4: 25

This is the speed that the aircraft senses.

Airspeed

Topic 5: 5

This long stretch of pavement (also called tarmac) is used to take off and land.

Runway

Topic 5: 10

This location is the communications hub of the airport.

Control Tower

Topic 5: 15

The airplanes are kept in this large building when not in use.

Hanger

Topic 5: 20

Passengers wait for the flight in this building (or buildings).

Terminal

Topic 5: 25

Aircraft use these to move from the terminal to the runway.
