Describe the term inertia?: Inertia is the willingness of an object to remain at rest or to continue in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
describe the term acceleration?: the rate of change of the speed and or velocity of matter with time.

1. fuselage?: a. forward section â€“ includes the flight station
b. midbody section â€“ the midsection of plane
c. aft fuselage section â€“ includes tail cone
2. wings?: a. center section â€“ integral part of fuselage, consist of a box-type beam which is an assembly of the front and rear spars, top and bottom skin panels, and ribs. After the structure assembly is completed the box beam is sealed to form an auxiliary fuel tank.
b. Left wing outer panel- outer wing consist of wing flaps, leading and trailing edges, wingtips, ailerons, and engine nacelled
c. Right wing outer panel â€“ outer wing consists of wing flaps leading and trailing edges, wingtips, ailerons, and engine nacelles
3. tail ?: - horizontal stabilizers â€“ provides stability of plane about lateral axis, this is longitudinal stability. Serves as base for which elevators are attached
- vertical stabilizers- maintains stability of plane about its vertical axis this is known as directional stability
4. flight controls/surfaces?: a. flaps â€“ wing flaps are the high lift fowler type, uses a combo of aft movement to increase the wing area and a drooping/downward movement to change the airfoil section, powered by combined no 1 and no 2 hydraulic systems
b. ailerons â€“ operated by a lateral (side-by side) movement of control stick or turning of wheel, are interconnected and work simultaneously but in opposite directions from one another. As one moves down to increase lift the other moves up to increase lift on its side. This opposing action allows more lift to be produced by the wing one the wing on one side then the other. This results in a controlled movement or roll because of unequal forces on wings
c. rudder â€“ used to move the aircraft about the vertical axis, if pilot turns rudder to right the plane turns to right and vice versa, done by pushing right or left rudder pedal
d. elevators â€“ rising the elevators causes plane to climb , and lowering it causes It to descend., done by a control stick
5. landing gear: a. strut â€“ absorbs shock that would otherwise be sustained by the airframe , navy plans use the air-oil shock strut.
b. Brakes â€“ engine propeller combo is usually effective in stopping plane and reduces the work brakes normally do. Four multiple disk brake assemblies one for each main gear wheel are mounted on the strut side of the main gear axle
c. Wheels â€“ either aluminum or magnesium alloy, on navy planes the wheels are either divided or demountable flange, tires are 36 ply
1. engine: a. power section â€“ consists of an axial flow compressor, a combustion chamber, a multistage turbine and an exhaust section.
b. Torque meter â€“ electronically measures the torsional deflection (twist), recorded as horsepower
c. Reduction gear system- reduces engine rpm within range of efficient propeller rpm. Large reduction necessary cause gas turbine must operate at very high rpm to produce power efficiently
2. propeller blades: 5(mod#) 4 (#blades) H(shank size/type) 60(spline size) 77(minor mod#)
3. auxiliary power unit: - makes plane a self sustaining aircraft, made up of a turbine compressor driving a generator that is identical to the engine driven generators.
4. fuel cells: - four integral wing tanks and an auxiliary tank carry fuel supply for the .
- engines.
- Tank 5 = auxiliary tank, consisting of a bladder type fuselage tank connected to an integral center section tank.
5. vents: - the tanks are vented by float type vent valves located one in each wing tank and one in each cell of tank no 5 that prevent over pressurization and overflow or siphoning during maneuvering.
