straight and level flight
1Flight envelope — diagram. In aerodynamics, the flight envelope or performance envelope of an aircraft refers to the capabilities of a design in terms of airspeed and load factor or altitude.[1][2 …
2Flight dynamics — is the science of air and space vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle s center of mass, known as pitch , roll and yaw… …
3flight simulator — a device used in pilot and crew training that provides a cockpit environment and sensations of flight under actual conditions. [1945 50] * * * ▪ training instrument any electronic or mechanical system for training airplane and spacecraft… …
4Stall (flight) — For other uses, see stall. In fluid dynamics, a stall is a reduction in the lift coefficient generated by a foil as angle of attack increases. This occurs when the critical angle of attack of the foil is exceeded. The critical angle of attack is… …
5Aircraft flight mechanics — In aeronautics, aircraft flight mechanics is the study of the forces that act on an aircraft in flight, and the way the aircraft responds to those forces. [Clancy, L.J. Aerodynamics . Section 14.1] Aircraft flight mechanics are relevant to… …

7Flight attendant — Flight attendants or cabin crew (historically known as stewards, air hosts/hostesses, or stewardesses) are members of an aircrew employed by airlines to ensure the safety and comfort of the passengers aboard commercial flights as well as on… …
8Flight 19 — Artist s depiction of five Avengers. Occurrence summary Date December 5, 1945 …
9Slow flight — is a portion of an airplane s performance envelope above the speed at which the plane will stall, but below the aircraft s endurance speed. This part of the performance chart is also known as the back side of the power curve because when flying… …
10Flight control surfaces — Aircraft flight control surfaces allow a pilot to adjust and control the aircraft s flight attitude.Development of an effective set of flight controls was a critical advance in the development of the aircraft. Early efforts at fixed wing aircraft …
