Airfoil: A surface shaped to lift or steer an aircraft
Thrust: A forward force that acts upon an object
Drag: Friction between a fluid (such as air) and an object moving through it.
Lift: An upward force created when air rushes over a shape (such as a wing)
Gravity: A natural force that attracts all objects to each other
Pitch: The up and down axis of flight, controlled by the elevators
Elevator: part of the horizontal stabilizer that is used to deflect the tail up and down, controlling the pitch
Roll: Tilting to the left or the right, controlled by the ailerons
Aileron: Hinged part of the wing used to control roll
Yaw: The sideways skidding axis of flight, controlled by the rudder
Rudder: Part of the vertical stabilizer used to deflect the tail to the left and right controlling the yaw.
Dihedral: The angle between the wing and the horizontal (wing ends on an upward angle), Help lateral stabilization
