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

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.
