Aircraft basics
This document provides an overview of aircraft basics including: - The main components of an aircraft including wings, empennage, landing gear, and power plants. Wings can be high-wing, mid-wing, or low-wing and include ailerons and flaps. The empennage includes vertical and horizontal stabilizers with rudders and elevators. - The four main forces acting on an aircraft during flight: lift, thrust, weight, and drag. Bernoulli's equation is presented relating to lift. - Primary flight controls including ailerons, elevators, rudders, and various tail configurations. Pitch, yaw, and V-tail are also explained. - Secondary flight controls

- 16. Bernaulli’s Equation Firstterm is the internal energy of unit mass of the air, ½ v² is the kinetic energy of unit mass and gz is the potential energy of unit mass. Thus, Bernoulli’s equation in this form is a statement of the principle of conservation of energy in the absence of heat exchanged and work done. This is Bernoulli’s equation for an incompressible fluid, i.e. a fluid that cannot be compressed or expanded, and for which the density is invariable.
