    Activity 1.2.

    1 Aircraft Control Surfaces and


    Components
    Introduction
    Have you ever placed your hand out the window of a moving vehicle and felt the
    pressure on your hand? Your hand can be flown by changing its pitch or angle
    causing it to raise and lower. Aircraft also deflect airflow to change direction.

    In this activity you will identify the components of an aircraft. You will explore aircraft
    control and stability about the threes axis of flight.

    Equipment
    Course binder

    Procedure
    1. Label the image below with the correct terms. What is this section of the aircraft
    called?

    Enter the correct labels

    1. Horizontal Stabilizer
    2. Elevator
    3. Vertical Stabilizer
    4. Rudder

    2. Label the image below with the correct terms.

    Enter the correct labels

    1. Aileron
    2. Flap
    3. Cockpit
    4. Fuselage
    5. Power Plant
    6. Wing

    3. Label the image with the following information:


    a. Draw the three axes.
    b. Label each axis correctly.
    c. Label the correct name of the motion for each axis.
    d. Label the correct motion control for each axis.

    4. A pilot wishes to make a descending turn to the right. Describe what position the
    control components will need to be in and what motions the pilot will input to
    make these components react.
    To turn right, the aircraft must roll right. Right wing must lower and left wing must
    ascend. Right aileron is raised and left aileron is lowered.
    To descend, the pilot reduces power and lowers the elevator to pitch down.
    Lower the elevator and push the yoke forward.
    5. Describe what a flap does and where it is located on an aircraft.
    Flaps are usually mounted on the wing trailing edges of a fixed-wing aircraft; are
    used to lower the minimum speed at which the aircraft can be safely flown, and
    to increase the angle of descent for landing.

    Conclusion
    1. What aircraft have you observed that have components arranged differently or
    that are missing specific components? Drone, helicopter, glider
    2. What improvements would impact aircraft component design?
    The improvement or discovery of flying material; something that is sturdier yet
    light.
