Fundamentals of Flight

an object at rest will remain at rest , or an object in motion will continue in motion at the same speed and in the same direction, until acted upon by an outside force

if an object moving with uniform speed is acted upon by an external force, the change of motion, or acceleration, will be directly proportional to the amount of force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object being moved.

for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

acceleration, speed, velocity

lift, weight, drag, thrust

• Aileron(roll)-longitudinal
• Elevator(pitch)-lateral
• Rudder(yaw)-vertical
