Guide with Complete Solutions
fixed-wing aircraft structure - Answer-1. Fuselage
2. Wings
3. Tail assembly or empennage
4. Landing gear
5. Powerplant
6. Flight instruments/controls and control surfaces
fuselage - Answer-body of an airplane. Contains the cock...
monocoque designs - Answer✔✔-use bulkheads, stringers, (running the length of the fuselage) and
formers (perpendicular to stringers) of various sizes and shapes to support a stretched or "stressed" skin
wings - Answer✔✔-airfoils attached to each side of the fuselage that serve as the main lifting surfaces
supporting the airplane in flight.
airfoil - Answer✔✔-an aircraft part or surface (such as wing, propeller blade, or rudder) that controls lift,
direction, stability, thrust, or propulsion for the aircraft.
monoplanes - Answer✔✔-airplanes with one set of wings
biplanes - Answer✔✔-airplanes with two sets of wings
cantilever wing - Answer✔✔-requires no external bracing, getting its support from internal wing spars,
ribs, and stringers, as well as the construction of the wing's skin or covering
semi-cantilever wing - Answer✔✔-requires both internal bracing and external support from struts
attached to the fuselage
ailerons - Answer✔✔-extend from about the middle of the wing out toward the wingtip; they move in
opposite directions to create aerodynamic forces that cause the airplane to roll
flaps - Answer✔✔-extend outward from near where the wing joins the fuselage (called the wing root) to
about the middle of the wing's trailing edge. The flaps are usually flush with the rest of the wing surface
when cruising flight; when they are extended, the flaps move downward together to increase the lift of
the wing for takeoffs and landings. Most common high lift devices.
chord line - Answer✔✔-the distance from the leading edge of the wing to the trailing edge. Cuts the
airfoil into an upper surface and a lower surface
