Aerodynamics

Hi! Caspian here!

Today I did some work on aero-dynamics as I asked Mum for a lesson on it. Here are my facts so far:-

1.You need wind to go underneath the wings to lift the plane.

2.The forces needed to fly are weight, thrust, lift and drag.

3.Flaps and slats work together on the wings to take off.

4.Ailerons move up and down altering the lift force.

5.Elevators are on the tail and control the vertical force.

I am doing more on aero-dynamics next week.

I also did some spelling and maths. I am having a British breakfast for tea, as we find it easier to digest later in the day. We also fed the birds since they get through about 12 fat balls in one day. Mum has seen about 5 fat sparrows amongst all the smaller sparrows, and I have seen some rooks, and starlings on our feeders. We hope to see a Great Woodpecker in the woods soon.

I didn’t have much else to say today, so… I guess it’s bye!!!

  1. Great facts on aero-dynamics Caspian. Remember that next week is a holiday week though- make sure you have a wee break! A British breakfast for tea sounds like a treat. What did it include? Wow 12 fat balls in one day- that is impressive!!
