ENGINES

• Parts of the Airplane

  • Engines
  • Wings
  • Ailerons
  • horizontal stabilizers
  • vertical stabilizers
  • flap
  • propeller
  • elevator
  • fuselage
  • rudder
• The engines can also be referred to as the power plant of the plan.
• Engines - This is the part of the plane that works to generate thrust to lift the plane into the sky.
• The wings of the plane are their most identifiable parts.
• Wings - These things work just like those of a bird to lift the plane into the air and control the airflow as the plane flies.
• The ailerons are the hinged surfaces of wings that aid in controlling lateral balance.
• Ailerons - These work to move the aircraft left or right by allowing the plane to roll in the desired direction.
• The ailerons work asymmetrically when flying. This means when

  The right aileron goes up, and the left one goes down. When the right goes down, the left aileron goes up.
• At the tail of the plane, there is a horizontal wing-like structure that

  protrudes out. These are the horizontal stabilizers and help to

  keep the aircraft’s equilibrium when flying up and down.
• Horizontal Stabilizer - looks like a small wings from the tail.
• On the tail section of the plane, you’ll notice a shark-like fin. This is referred to as the vertical stabilizer. This helps to prevent lateral movements of the craft, which could easily lead to slippage,

  making the plane uncontrollable to handle.
• Located at the back of the wing, the flaps are included to help increase the lift of the plane into the air. These flaps are fitted to trail the edges of the wing sections.
• Propeller - Most aircraft have at least one propeller to thrust the plane forward at a specific pitch, depending on the angle of the propeller blades.
• The elevators work to control the pitch motion of the craft. These are hinged surfaces that are fitted to the rear of the horizontal stabilizers. These work as a symmetrical pair. When the elevators go up, the aircraft goes up. When the elevators go down, the aircraft goes down.
• fuselage - This is the centermost piece of the aircraft that is responsible for the structural integrity of the cargo and passengers.
• The rudder is responsible for controlling the yaw motion of the aircraft. This is the side-to-side movement of the nose of the craft. You’ll find the rudder as a hinged section at the rear of the vertical stabilizer of the plane.
