Major Parts of Airplane

EMPENNA GE

FUSELAGE WING

ENGINE

Parts of an Airplane Fuselage:  Basic structure of the airplane to which wings, empennage and landing gear are attached.  It is designed to hold engers, crews & cargo.

Parts of an Airplane Empennage (tail):  Consists of vertical stabilizer & horizontal stabilizer.  It provides the greatest stabilizing influence of all the components of an airplane.

Parts of an Airplane Engine:  Provides the thrust necessary for powered flight.  The types of engine depends on the mission requirements of the airplane.

Parts of an Airplane Wing  The wing is an airfoil attached to the fuselage and is designed to produce lift.  It may contain fuel cells, engine nacelles and landing gear.  Airplane control surfaces (aileron, flaps, slat and spoiler) also attached it.

Wing  High Wing: Wing

on top (very stable)  Mid Wing: Wing in middle (acrobatic)  Low Wing: Wing on bottom (less drag)

Parts of an Airplane Landing gear :  The landing gear can be fixed in place or retractable.  Most planes today use what is called a tricycle landing gear arrangement.  This system has two large main gear units located near the middle of the plane and a single smaller nose gear unit near the nose of the aircraft.

Elevator Rudder

Primary Control Surfaces  Ailerons: horizontal surfaces located on wing

tips.  Provide roll control- Roll the aircraft to the right or left.  Elevator: horizontal surface located on the tail  Provide pitch control-Nosing the aircraft up and down.  Rudder: vertical surface located on the tail  Provide yaw control- turning the aircraft to the left or right.

Additional Control Surfaces Flaps:  A movable control surface on the aircraft wing, used to change the amount of lift generated.  Flaps deflect downward during take-off & landing to increase lift.  Flaps retracted immediately after landing to decrease lift. Slats:  A movable control surface on the aircraft wing, also used to change the amount of lift generated.  Slats enable the airplane to get off the ground quickly and to land more slowly.

Additional Control Surfaces Spoilers:  Located on the upper wing which, when opened, decreases lift and increases drag.  They reduce lift by disrupting the airflow over the top of the wing.  They are used during the descend prior to landing and immediately after landing. Spoiler
