This document discusses key terminology and concepts related to aircraft and airport planning and design. It describes the four main forces acting on an aircraft - weight, lift, drag, and thrust. Weight is the force of gravity, lift opposes weight, drag opposes motion, and thrust overcomes drag. The document also discusses the principal axes and motions of aircraft, including pitch, roll, and yaw, and how control surfaces like elevators, ailerons, and rudders control these motions. It provides information on other surfaces like flaps, slats, and spoilers and how they affect lift and drag.
