Chapter 5: Newton's Laws of Motion 1. Newton's First Law: An object will remain at rest or move in a straight line at constant speed unless acted upon by a net external force (law of inertia). 2. Newton's Second Law: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F = ma). 3. Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. 4. Applications: Problems involving friction, tension, an...

ATPL PRINCIPLES of FLIGHT. The primary requirements of an aircraft are as follows:  A wing to generate a lift force.  A fuselage to house the payload.  Tail surfaces to add stability.  Control surfaces to change the direction of flight and,  Engines to make it go forward. The process of lift generation is fairly straightforward and easy to understand. Over the years aircraft designers, aerodynamicists and structural engineers have refined the basics and by subtle changes o...
