Parts of an Airplane

3. Parts of an Airplane Fuselage- The main body of an Airplane.
Houses cockpit, passengers, cargo

4. Parts of an Airplane Landing gear- Underneath the airplane
contains wheels, floats, etc. of an aircraft.
lands and moves on ground or water.

5. Parts of the Plane
Propeller- A propeller is a rotating blade on the front of the airplane.
The engine turns the propeller, which pulls the airplane through the air.

6. Parts of an Airplane
Wings – Wings are the parts of the airplane that provide lift.
They also support the entire weight of the aircraft and its contents while in flight.

7. Aviation
Flaps – Flaps are the movable sections of an airplane’s wings that are closest to the fuselage.
They move in the same direction on both wings at the same time,
and, by creating drag and lift, enable the airplane to fly more slowly.

8. Parts of an Airplane
Ailerons –movable sections on an outer edge of an airplane ’s wings.
They move in opposite directions
(when one goes up, the other goes down).

9. Parts of an Airplane
Rudder –movable, vertical section of the tail that controls lateral movement.
(side-to-side)
When the rudder moves in one direction,
the aircraft nose moves the same direction.

10. Parts of an Airplane When the elevator moves one direction,
Elevator –movable, horizontal section of the tail that causes the airplane to climb and descend.
When the elevator moves one direction,
the nose moves in the same direction
(up or down).

11. Parts of an Airplane Vertical Stabilizer- fixed piece on tail
Keeps aircraft stable
Keeps nose of plane from moving from
side to side

12. Parts of an Airplane Horizontal Stabilizer-
Keeps nose of plane from moving up or down
In front of Elevators

Forces on an Airplane

14. Forces on an Airplane There are 4 forces on an airplane
THRUST—a force created by the engine that moves the airplane forward.
Pulls airplane through the air.

15. Forces on an Airplane There are 4 forces on an airplane
LIFT—The up ward pushing force.
It moves the aircraft upward.

16. Forces on an Airplane There are 4 forces on an airplane
DRAG—created by resistance against all the surfaces of the airplane.

17. Forces on an Airplane There are 4 forces on an airplane
GRAVITY— a force pulling down on the airplane;
it’s the same force that keeps you on the earth.

18. Movements of An Airplane
3 Axis’Movements of an Airplane
Yaw
Pitch
Roll
Combinations of these
three controls enable
an airplane to maneuver.

19. Movements of An Airplane
Roll
Roll is known as the rising or dipping of the airplane's wing.
a Longitudinal axis
stretching from the nose to the tail of the aircraft.

20. Roll Ailerons control Opposite directions One up-one down Bank or Roll
Longitudinal Axis
Nose to tail

21. Movements of An Airplane
YAW
move towards the left/ right
vertical axis
controlled by the rudder.
Left/Right

22. Movements of An Airplane
Pitch
movement of the airplane's nose
up or down.
Vertical axis
stretching from one wing tip to the other.
The elevator controls the pitch.

23. Movements of An Airplane
Rudder controls Yaw left/right
Elevator controls Pitch nose up/down
Ailerons control Roll

24. Movements of An Airplane

25. Airplane Terms 2 Latin words Pro- before or forwards Pellere- drive
Propulsion
2 Latin words
Pro- before or forwards
Pellere- drive
means to push forward or drive an object forward.

26. Aviation A plane going vertical ground speed is zero. Ground Speed-
is the horizontal speed of an aircraft relative to the ground.
A plane going vertical ground speed is zero.

27. Aviation Airspeed The airspeed relative to the air around it.
Displays airspeed through air
Measured in Knots (nautical miles per hour)

28. Airplane Terms
Stall-
is what happens when an airfoil (Wing) can not make enough lift to keep the aircraft in level flight.
