![]() The horizontal stabilizer prevents the nose of the aircraft from rising and falling (pitch). The primary function of an aircraft’s tail is to give stability and lift generation when combined with the wings. As a result, the aircraft can descend and lose altitude without increasing speed. Spoilers aid the aircraft’s descent and limit the airfoil’s lift capacity. Slats are comparable to flaps but are only found at the wing’s leading edge, changing the wing’s form momentarily to increase lift. Winglets were developed to lessen the induced drag. The wing tip of an airplane is curved upward and is known as a winglet. When aircraft speed is lower, such as during take-off and landing, the flaps frequently increase lift and lower stall speeds. The flaps produce greater lift and drag because they move symmetrically on each side, unlike ailerons. The flaps are present at the trailing edge of the wing. As a result, the plane starts to roll to the left and turn. The left aileron rises and decreases lift on that side, while the right aileron moves down, increasing lift on that side, causing that side to rise. The pilot in the cockpit rotates to the left. It is one of the three main control surfaces that govern a plane, together with the elevator and rudder. AileronsĪilerons are situated on the wing’s trailing edge and aid in controlling a plane’s roll. It is not only about producing lift we also have to control it by various parts of the wing, which are necessary to discuss. To produce the lift in a specific direction for the airplane depends on the wing. Side consolesĭepending on the aircraft, side consoles are for communication equipment and documentation. Systems for the aircraft, including hydraulics, electrical, fuel, and air conditioning, are located on the overhead panel. Rudder pedals are used for steering on the ground during a taxi and controlling yaw while in flight. The cockpit has two seats, one for the co-pilot and one for the pilot. The cockpit houses the flight crew’s seating area, avionics, flight controls, and audio and radio communications. It is also referred to as the flight deck. The cockpit is the front area of the fuselage from where the pilot controls the whole airplane. Nowadays, aluminum tubes are the first choice of material in the fuselage to reduce the airplane’s weight and increase its strength and withstanding capacity.įollowing are some examples of different types of fuselage construction. The material for the fuselage also varies for other airplanes, which range from wood to welded tubes (Planes used in World War II). The construction of the fuselage is different for different airplanes. The fuselage contains the pilot in front, while the passenger and crew members are at the rear. It creates the airplane’s aerodynamic shape. The shape of the fuselage is wider on the front side, and it becomes more taper on the rear side of the airplane. This fuselage is also called the body of the airplane. It is a long hollow tube made up of different materials. The fuselage is one of the important parts of an airplane or aircraft. ![]() This video tells us all parts of an airplane, their names & functions.
