Beginner's Guide to
Aerodynamics is a "textbook" of information prepared at NASA Glenn Research
Center to help you better understand how airplanes work. Click Beginner's
Guide Index to access the list of slides. Open the slide called Aileron
Roll (with text). Study the labeled diagram and read the explanation
of aileron roll. Then using the information shown at Aileron
Roll Problems, complete the exercise.
Assessment:
You, or your
partner(s), will be evaluated on the accuracy or feasibility of your answers.
Evaluation:
You will
demonstrate the ability to use information found on the World Wide Web
to apply what you have learned about aileron roll to airplanes.
