C7: Drone Technology – Assembly Focus

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

  1. Identify and explain the four forces of flight.
    Answer: Lift, Weight (Gravity), Thrust, and Drag work together to control drone movement.

  2. Describe how propellers generate lift.
    Answer: Propellers push air downward; the air pushes back upward, creating lift.

  3. Explain why balance is important in flight.
    Answer: Without equal force on each side, a drone would tilt or crash — balance keeps it stable.

Conduct a paper propeller experiment to observe lift and rotation.
Answer: You’ll see how changing propeller shape affects spin speed and falling time.
