Unit 2 Air, Aerodynamics, and Flight Pre-Assessment
Completion requirements
Pre-Assesment
You climb excitedly into the basket for your first ever hot-air balloon ride. Right before you take off, you notice flames under the canopy of the balloon. As the ropes are released, the balloon starts to rise gently into the air. As you begin to rise,
you notice a paraglider flying off in the distance, and a few birds flap by. You begin to wonder about how all these things can be moving through the air.
