that is devoid of rods and cones and is insensitive to light.



Boundary Layer - CORRECT ANSWER A thin layer of air next to the surface of an airfoil which shows a
reduction in speed due to the air's viscosity.



Center of Gravity - CORRECT ANSWER The common reference point for the three axes of the aircraft.
