Introduction

Learn about two major areas in the Grade 6 flight unit:

1) Forces acting on a body in flight, and

2) The main movements of an airplane - roll, pitch and yaw.

Activity 1

This animated activity illustrates 4 forces on a body in flight � thrust, lift, drag and gravity.

Activity 2

This animated activity will illustrate the main movements of a plane - roll, pitch and yaw.

Activity 3

To solidify student understanding of how roll movements work on an airplane, use this drill and practice animation.

Activity 4

To solidify student understanding of how yaw movements work on an airplane, use this drill and practice animation.

Activity 5

To solidify student understanding of how pitch movements work on an airplane, use this drill and practice animation.
