-Torque - -What force acting upon a helicopter attempts to turn the helicopter in the
opposite direction of the main rotor?

at all points of the rotor blade rotation?
, -3-5 Miles away - -Visual approach slope indicators are visible from what distance during
clear daylight hours?
-Horizontal - -Non-precision instrument runways provide what kind of guidance?
-Fixed wing aircraft - -Aircraft in which the movement of the wings in relation to the
aircraft is not used to generate lift.
-Fuselage - -Main body of an aircraft
-Airfoil - -Surface such as a wing, elevator, or aileron that is designed to create lift.
-Full cantilever wings - -Wings that have internal bracing
-Semi cantilever wings - -Wings that have some form of external bracing, ex. wires or
struts
-Leading edge - -Front part of the wing that separates the air, forcing it to go above or
below the wing
-Trailing edge - -Back part of the wing where the air comes back together
-Primary flight controls - -Controls responsible for movement along the three axes of
flight. (Elevators, ailerons, and rudder)
-Secondary flight controls - -Controls responsible for reducing takeoff time, producing
extra lift, and increasing drag on the aircraft. (Flaps, slats, spoilers, speed brakes, and trim
system)
-Pitching - -Aircraft movement along the lateral axis
-Rolling - -Aircraft movement along the longitudinal axis
-Yawing - -Aircraft movement along the vertical axis
-Spoiler - -Located on the upper or trailing edge of the wing, used to decrease lift
-Trim - -Inexpensive autopilot system, found on the trailing edge of primary flight control
surfaces
-Empennage - -The tail assembly of an aircraft, includes tail cone, fixed stabilizers, and
moveable surfaces that assist in directional control (rudder and elevators).
-Fixed landing gear - -Stationary landing gear that does not have the ability to retract
