Aerodynamics
The science of how objects move through air
Altitude
The height of an object in relation to sea level or ground level
Aviation
Flying within the Earth’s atmosphere
Drag
The force that acts against an object in motion
Flight
Flight is the process of moving through the earth’s atmosphere (or beyond) without touching earth’s surface.
Hover
To remain in one place in the air - all forces of flight must be equal
Lift
The force that causes an aircraft to rise while in flight; created when air passes over and under an airplane's wings
Pitch
The movement a drone makes along the lateral axis
Roll
The movement a drone makes along the longitudinal axis
Space Flight
Flying through the vacuum of space is called Space Flight.
Thrust
The force that allows an aircraft to move forward; allows an aircraft to overcome weight and produce lift; created by a motor turning a propeller
VLOS
VIsual Line of Sight - drone is visible to the pilot without any devices like binoculars

SCIENCE OF FLIGHT
Demonstration - Flight Controls
1Press “Take-Off”, the drone will begin to hover and is now ready for further commands.
Demonstration - Flight Controls 2 (Directions)
The controls on the right-hand side of the control screen are responsible for Pitch and Roll movement.
Demonstration - Flight Controls 3 (Elevation)
The controls on the left hand side of the control screen are responsible for vertical movements as well as yaw.
Demonstration - Flight Controls 4 (Combination)
