Flight Introduction to the Glider
What are the 4 forces that act on a plane in flight? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Lift & Weight ,[object Object]
Thrust & Drag ,[object Object]
How do we over come the effects of these forces? ,[object Object]
Dihedral Angle Dihedral angle is an upward tilt of the wing, usually 15 degrees. It has important stabilizing effects on planes.
Wing Sweep The backward angle of the wing. This helps to spread the drag out so the plane doesn’t experience the drag all at once
What about drag? ,[object Object]
Regulations ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
