1. Construir y volar con éxito un avión de un kit de madera de balsa y papel, que sea propulsado por una banda de goma o por gas.

2. Construir un planeador con madera de balsa de un modelo prefabricado y observar sus características de vuelo en relación a la variable posición de las alas.

3. Hacer y volar con éxito 2 diferentes estilos de aviones utilizando hojas de papel de entre 20 centímetros y 35 centímetros de ancho y largo.

4. Definir, ubicar y explicar el uso de los siguientes elementos básicos:

a. Fuselaje

b. Ala

c. Alerón

Horizontal stabilizer
The horizontal "mini wing" at the tail section of the airplane. The elevator is attached to the horizontal stabilizer with hinges.
Strut
A diagonal brace going from the fuselage to the bottom of the wing consisting of a bar or rod used to support the wing on the airplane.
Cockpit
Compartment where the pilot sits while flying the aircraft.
Engine
The source of power to turn the propeller or turbines and generate thrust. Can be an internal combustion engine, jet engine, or in the case of an airplane model a rubber band engine.
Landing gear
An undercarriage that supports the weight of the plane when it is on the ground.
Propeller
The mechanical device attached to the engine that rotates to push against air and create thrust.
Dihedral
Dihedral is where the right and left wing tips are higher than the fuselage. More dihedral generally means that a plane will be more stable in the air, but will be more difficult to turn. Most planes require a bit of dihedral to fly well.
Elevator
Elevator is the term used to describe a plane's horizontal control surface on the tail. This surface enables a plane to pitch upwards or downwards. When an elevator surface moves upwards, the tail moves downwards (the nose of the plane then points up) and vice-versa. Without an elevator, it is hard to control the altitude of a plane as you can't control the rise and fall of the nose of the plane.
Thrust
The mechanical force generated by the engine to move the airplane through the air.
Vertical stabilizer
The vertical fin which is part of the tail assembly of the airplane. The rudder is attached to the vertical stabilizer with a hinge.
V-Tail
V-Tail aircraft are planes that have only 2 stabilization surfaces (in the shape of a V) instead of a conventional horizontal and vertical stabilizers. In a V-Tail aircraft, the 2 control surfaces of the V-Tail work together to give elevator and rudder responses.
