Activity 1.1.1 - Evolution of Human Flight
Activity 1.2.1 - Aircraft Control
CONCLUSION:
1. Some aircraft have 2 Landing Gear wheels at wings and one at nose while others have two at nose and one at the drag tail.
2. Different manufacture materials, cargo, fuel, and passengers will impact weight while different arrangements will impact efficiency and performance.

ACtivity 1.2.3 - Center of Gravity
CONCLUSION:
1. The weight of the fuel, baggage, passengers, and the aircraft as a whole all contribute to the center of gravity.
2. If the moment of an aircraft is not within the same range, the entire aircraft could crash.

Activity 1.2.4 - Atmosphere
CONCLUSION:
1. Temperature can change from extreme cold to extreme hot, so material must withstand any sudden change.
2. Pressure lowers with altitude so material must withstand changes in pressure at different heights.

Activity 1.2.5 - Aerodynamic Forces
CONCLUSION:
1. The pilot lowers the flaps to increase the lift coefficient.
2. Higher speed and drag, different flaps settings.
3. I was surprised by how high the weight was until I found another surprise, the weight was in newtons.
