• Focus Point: How. are Aircraft Classified? Lesson # 2 Instructional Objectives: (SWBAT): 1/20/2022 7: 43 PM 1) Explain the 2 primary classes of aircraft. 2) Discuss types of heavier than aircraft. 3) Identify 2 types of fixed wing aircraft. www. assignmentpoint. com

I) What are the two primary classes of aircrafts: 1) Lighter-than air: 2) Heavier- than air: www. assignmentpoint. com

1) Lighter-than air: 1. Hydrogen was used (flammable gas). 2. Uses gas to keep it aloft 3. Eventually slighter heavier helium (non flammable) was used www. assignmentpoint. com

II) Lighter-than air: 1) Non-rigid: “free balloon” or “hot air balloon”, has no internal or external framework. Has no steering mechanism. 2) Rigid: blimp, gas is contained in a fabric covered wooden or metal frame work. A gondola (control car) is underneath which carries engines and personnel. www. assignmentpoint. com

Note: The Hindenburg was a German Zeppelin, after a successful passenger flight began across the Atlantic caught fire while landing in New jersey in May 1937, killing 36 people and injuring many. www. assignmentpoint. com

2) Heavier-than air: All other types. www. assignmentpoint. com

III) Heavier-than air: 1) Rotary wing: Lift is generated by moving blades overhead which act as “revolving wings” A) Autogiro: non powered air driven blades. Forward flight is accomplished by use of a conventional engine and propeller. Forward motion caused free wheeling rotating blade. www. assignmentpoint. com

B) Helicopter: • Powered by rotating blades. • blades may be tilted in any direction to control flight path. www. assignmentpoint. com

2) Fixed wing: A) Seaplanes: (flying boats) uses floats or hulls in place of conventional landing gear to take off and land on water. B) Landplanes: classified by location of wing, landing gear type etc… www. assignmentpoint. com
