Figure 2.6.Axis of an airplane. Longitudinal axis.Thisimaginary axisextends from the nose to the plane's tail. The movement around this axis is done by raising one wing and lowering the other; this movement is called roll. Transverse or lateral axis.This imaginary axis is the one that exten...

A. Elevators’ movement controls the airplane to rotate about its laternal axis. B. The lateral axis of the airplane is also called the pitch axis,and movement of the aileron rotates an airplane about its laternal axis. C. The lateral axis of the airplane is also called the yaw axis,and...
The longitudinal axis of the airplane is also called the pitch axis,and movement of the aileron rotates an airplane about its axis. B. The longitudinal axis of the airplane is also called the yaw axis,and movement of the rudder rotates an airplane about its axis. C. Ailerons'movement ...
● an airplane that's flying in the air● 一架在空中飞行的飞机Notice that"tilted" is different from"crooked" or"curved".These words both also mean "not straight",but in different ways:请注意,“倾斜” 与 “歪斜”或 “弯曲” 不同。这些词也意味着“不直”,但是表达的方式不同:...
An airplane flies at an airspeed (relative to the air) of 420 km/h. The pilot wishes to fly due North (relative to the ground) but there is a 89 km/h wind blowing Southwest (direction 225). In what direction should the pilot head the plane (mea...

In recent years — as you may have noticed — the sport is sobering up. Today’s skydiver has a different goal to chase: skill development. Suddenly, it’s not enough to simply jump out of an airplane with your buddies; now, you’d better be using that jump to get — well —better...
