AIR PROPERTIES

AIR

• Has weight
• Moves
• Can feel it
• Takes up space
• Exerts pressure

Center of Gravity

Untitled Slide

• An equal mass distribution
• Causes equilibrium
• Balancing forces

FORCES OF FLIGHT

Untitled Slide

• Weight: pushes down on plane due to gravity
• Lift: holds the plane up due to wings and air pressure
• Drag: force opposite of motion that caused friction & differ air pressure
• Thrust: the same direction of motion
