Lift produced by a body displacing a greater weight of air than its own weight is called _________ lift.
|
Aerostatic
|
think.. not moving.

|
|
The lowest layer of our atmosphere is called the ________________.
|
Troposphere
|
space is like the antarctic, so the atmosphere closest to us would be like..
|
|
The layer of our atmosphere that is typified by the temperature of the air remaining constant as the pressure continues to drop is called the _________.
|
Stratosphere
|
|
|
The type of altitude measurement used to determine the amount of lift produced by an airfoil or the performance of an aircraft engine is ______________ altitude.
|
Density
|
you aren't 'dense'
|
|
The principle of physics that states that if the total energy in the air moving over an airfoil remains constant, any increase in its velocity will result in a corresponding decrease in its pressure, is called _________ principle.
