What else can I help you with?
Which part of an aircraft is the fuselage?
It's the part you sit in, the part to which the wings, rudder, and horizontal stabilizer are attached.
What are some parts of a plane?
The main parts are the:Fuselage (the body with the wings and tail cut off)Wings (lifting surface)Tail Section (the rear of the plane, includes the horizontal stabilizers, and vertical stabilizer)If you want to be more in-depth:On the fuselage: DoorsCockpitWindowsNose landing gearMain landing gear (on most small aircraft)Engine (on most single engine aircraft)On the wings: AileronsFlapsAir spoilersWing letsEngines (On most larger aircraft, including two engine aircraft)In the tail section: Engines (On most regional jets like the CRJ-700 or DC-10)Horizontal stabilizer: ElevatorsVertical stabilizer: Rudder
How does a horizontal stabilizer function?
The horizontal stabilizer on an aircraft helps stabilize the pitch of the airplane by generating lift in the opposite direction to counterbalance the pitch moment created by the wings and fuselage. It also provides stability during level flight and controls the vertical position of the tail. By adjusting the angle of the horizontal stabilizer, pilots can control the pitch attitude of the aircraft.
How does a airplane maintain straight and level during flight?
The way an aircraft maintains straight and level flight is by the use of the trim tabs on the wings, tail, and horizontal stabilizer adjusted be the pilot in the cockpit. The use of ailerons, rudder and the horizontal stabilizer can also be used if needed. Also, you must have the correct airspeed or you will stall the aircraft(it doesn't have enough or too much air flow over the wings therefore causing the aircraft to fall).
What are three primary flight controls?
The three primary flight controls in an aircraft are the ailerons, elevators, and rudder. Ailerons, located on the wings, control roll and allow the aircraft to tilt side to side. Elevators, found on the tail, manage pitch and enable the aircraft to ascend or descend. The rudder, located on the vertical stabilizer, controls yaw and helps the aircraft turn left or right.
How do you locate the antennae on a Cessna C172?
Aircraft have many antennas. Depending on what radio and navigation equipment the aircraft is equipped with a cessna 172 will have 2 or 3 antennas on top of the fuselage between the wings and/or aft of the cabin. Frequently 172's are equipped with a wire antenna stretched from a point between the wings to the top of the horizontal stabilizer. It is also common for small aircraft such as the 172 to have 2 or 3 antennas on the bottom of the aircraft.
What Parts of an airplane which provide lift and support entire weight of airplane?
The wings are the primary source of lift for an airplane. The horizontal stabilizer of most modern transport aircraft produces lift also, but the lift vector of the stabilizer is usually in the opposite direction (down) in order to keep the aircraft at the proper pitch attitude. Some aircraft configurations are designed so that the aircraft body itself provides lift. The Space Shuttle is an example of a "lifting body" aircraft.
Why do SR-71 have wings?
All type of aircraft need wings. They are the parts that make an airplane fly. Without wings it is not even an aircraft.
What was the first aircraft with wings?
The first aircraft to have wings was the Wright Flyer, the first aeroplane to fly in 1901.
What are the parts of an airplane?
fuselage wings ailerons flaps landing gear tail vertical stabilizer horizontal stabilizer rudder elevators engine
Is abdomen attached to wings or legs?
Neither, the wings and legs are actually attached to the thorax.
Do aircraft wings move up and down?
Aircraft wings can move up and down as part of the normal operation of the aircraft. This movement helps to control the flight of the aircraft by adjusting the lift and drag forces acting on the wings. The wings can also move as part of the aircraft's flaps and slats system to change the wing's shape for takeoff and landing.
