- Write the names
of the three airplane parts that can be used to change the shape of
the wings.
- The wing generates
lift because of its shape. Look at the airplane above. Which other part
of the airplane, because of its similar shape, should also generate
lift?
- Look at the airplane
above. Which moveable part would the pilot use to make the airplane
turn to the left?
- Which part would
the pilot move in order to tip the left wing lower than the right?
- Which part of the
airplane in the picture above is generating thrust?
