ANATOMY OF THE AIRPLAN



1 Fuselage: Centre body of the aircraft, it cares the major payloads & weight, commonly used shape of the fuselage is similar to cylindrically shape. It is a semi-monocoque structure, the fuselage is a French word meaning ‘’ spindle’’ shape.
2 Wings: they are the major lift producing components both left and right wings are identical to each other. The volume of the wings is used for storage of main landing gear and fuel tank. There are two controlling surfaces on the wing i.e. flaps and aileron
      Flaps: they are used at the time of climbing and landing (decent), at the time of climbing the flaps are used to increase in the lift.
       Aileron: they are the controlling surfaces of an aircraft, they are used the longitudinal direction(Y-axis) it is also called a rolling moment both the aileron work simultaneously. When we left aileron deflects downwards then simultaneously the right will go up and then aircraft will rotate anticlockwise, and vice and versa.

Vertical Stabilizer: Vertical stabilizer or tail they are used for providing the necessary stability to the aircraft. It has only one controlling surface that is the rudder.
     The rudder is one of the controlling surfaces of vertical stabilizer it is used for changing directional direction (z-axis) it is called a yawing moment. It turns the nose of the aeroplane according to the rudder motion.

Horizontal stabilizer: horizontal stabilizer or tail they are used for providing necessary stability to the aircraft. It has only one controlling surface that is the elevator.
     The elevator is one of the controlling surfaces which is used for changing lateral direction (x-axis) it is called a pitching moment. pitch up means aircraft nose is up and it is going in upwards direction and vice versa for pitch down
