Control surfaces
1. Maneuvering of an aircraft
It is the rolling, pitching, yawing moment of the aircraft
a) Axis of an aircraft
Adverse yaw
(Un-required movement developed by aileron )
Aircraft Propulsion
Lift : Upward and perpendicular to RAF Thrust : Force which gives forward motion to aircraft Drag : It opposes to forward motion to aircraft Weight : It act in downward direction due to gravity
1) Thrust
It is the force (propulsive force) required for forward motion of the aircraft as per NEWTONS second law of motion and can be obtain by using engine
2) Engine
It works under the principle of Newton's third law . 1. Air breathing : It uses surrounding environmental air E.g. IC Engine or GTE 2. Non air breathing : Air is in stored form E.g. Engine used for rocket propulsion

Future Vision
Decreased gross lift-off weight Smaller facilities & easier handling Leading to higher safety Flight can be aborted, while the vehicle glides back to earth Mission can be more flexible Wider range of emergency landing sites for intact abort
