AILERON
Longitudinal axis extends lengthwise from the nose through the
tail. Movement about the longitudinal axis is called roll. Roll is
controlled by the ailerons.
ELEVATOR
Lateral axis extends crosswise from wingtip through wingtip.
Movement about the lateral axis is called pitch. Pitch is controlled
by the elevator.
RUDDER
Vertical axis passes vertically through the center of gravity (when
the aircraft is in level flight). Movement about the vertical axis is
called yaw. Yaw is controlled by the rudder.
AIRCRAFT ENGINES
DIFFERENT TYPES OF AIRCRAFT ENGINES ARE

PROPELLER WITH PISTON ENGINE
JET ENGINE
TURBOPROP
TURBOFAN
TURBOJET
RAMJET
ROCKET ENGINE
TURBOPROP
PUSHER
TURBOFAN
TURBOJET
TURBOJET WITH AFTERBURNER
ROCKET ENGINE
LIQUID FUEL

AIRFOIL
AN AIRFOIL IS A SURFACE DESIGNED TO OBTAIN A
DESIRABLE REACTION FROM THE AIR THROUGH
WHICH IT MOVES
AIRFOIL GEOMETRY
CHORD LINE
MEAN CAMBER LINE
ANGLE OF ATTACK
ANGLE OF INCIDENCE
FOUR FORCES OF FLIGHT
DRAG
DRAG IS THE RESOLVED COMPONENT OF
THE COMPLETE AERODYNAMIC FORCE
WHICH IS PARALLEL TO THE FLIGHT
DIRECTION (OR RELATIVE ONCOMING
AIRFLOW).
IT MUST ALWAYS ACT TO OPPOSE THE
DIRECTION OF MOTION.
IT IS THE UNDESIRABLE COMPONENT OF
THE AERODYNAMIC FORCE WHILE LIFT IS
THE DESIRABLE COMPONENT

Why should we study properties of
atmosphere?
Variation of Temperature with Altitude
Variation of Pressure with Altitude
Variation of Density with Altitude

TOPICS TO BE COVERED
Why should we study
Atmospheric Properties
Engineers design flight vehicles, turbine
engines and rockets that will operate at various
altitudes.
They can not design these unless the
atmospheric characteristics are not known.
For example,

What is a standard
atmosphere?
Weather conditions vary around the globe,
from day to day.
Taking all these variations into design is
impractical.
A standard atmosphere is therefore defined,
that relates fight tests, wind tunnel tests and
general airplane design to a common
reference.
This common reference is called a
standard atmosphere.
Powered Controls
May take one of two basic forms:
Servo-assisted
Hydraulic pressure transmitted to servo actuator
which assists mechanical linkage to move
surface.
Linkage still available if power is lost but system
then very heavy to operate.
Fully power-operated
Control signals transmitted hydraulically,
electrically (fly-by-wire) or optically (fly-by-light).
