This project is to help you understand what helps a plane fly and how the parts work together.
I hope you enjoy the show.
Here is a chart to help you see what on a plane can be connected.
Slats--Wings--Ailerons--Roll--Yaw--Rudder--Elevators--Pitch--Drag--Lift
Slats- On wings and help the plane takeoff and land with the elevator. Slats can be connected to wings because
they are on the wings.
A description of wings is on the next slide.
Wings- Parts on the plane that have flaps, spoilers, and slats.
Wings can be connected to ailerons because they are part of the wing also.
A description of ailerons is on the next slide.
Ailerons- On wings and help control roll.
Ailerons can be connected to roll because ailerons control roll.
A description of roll is on the next slide.

Roll- Banking left or right.
Roll can be connected to yaw because both roll and yaw change the direction of a plane.
A description of yaw is on the next slide.
Yaw- Nose left or right.
Yaw can be connected to rudder because the rudder controls yaw.
A description of rudder is on the next slide.
Rudder- On vertical part of tail (fin) and control yaw.
Rudder can be connected to elevators because rudders and elevators change the direction of the plane.
A description of elevators is on the next slide.

Elevators- On horizontal part of tail and control pitch.
Elevators can be connected to pitch because elevators control pitch.
A description of pitch is on the next slide.
Pitch- Nose up or down.
Pitch can be connected to drag because if there’s to much pitch there will be drag.
A description of drag is on the next slide.
Drag- The force that opposes thrust.
Drag can be connected to lift because if there’s to much drag the lift will be to much or not enough.
A description of lift is on the next slide.
Lift- Air pressure underneath the plane is greater than above.
