Airplanes And How They Fly (1978) A/V Geeks 16mm Films 2024-10-14 | Explains the four fundamental forces that allow airplanes to fly: gravity, lift, thrust, and drag. Gravity pulls the airplane down, while lift enables it to rise. Thrust propels the airplane forward, and drag resists its motion. Thrust is generated by converting the potential energy of fuel into mechanical energy in the engines. Lift is created by the shape of the wings, known as airfoils, which manipulate air pressure. The video also describes how control surfaces like elevators, rudders, and ailerons help maneuver the airplane. Additionally, it discusses the design aspects of wings for various flight speeds and the importance of lift during takeoff and landing.Keywordsairplanes, flight, forces, gravity, lift, thrust, drag, airfoils, control surfaces, elevators, rudders, ailerons, wing design, takeoff, landingWe digitized and uploaded this film from the A/V Geeks 16mm Archive.
