PARTS OF AN AIRPLANE
• Landing gear- Underneath the airplane • contains wheels, floats, etc. of an aircraft. • lands and moves on ground or water.
PARTS OF THE PLANE
• Propeller- A propeller is a rotating blade on the front of the airplane.
• The engine turns the propeller, which pulls the airplane through the air.
PARTS OF AN AIRPLANE•Wings – Wings are the parts of the airplane that provide lift.
• They also support the entire weight of the aircraft and its contents while in flight.
AVIATION
• Flaps – Flaps are the movable sections of an airplane’s wings that are closest to the fuselage.
• They move in the same direction on both wings at the same time,
• and, by creating drag and lift, enable the airplane to fly more slowly.
PARTS OF AN AIRPLANE
•Ailerons –movable sections on an outer edge of an airplane ’s wings.
• They move in opposite directions
• (when one goes up, the other goes down).
PARTS OF AN AIRPLANE
•Rudder –movable, vertical section of the tail that controls lateral movement.
• (side-to-side)
•When the rudder moves in one direction,• the aircraft nose moves the same direction.
PARTS OF AN AIRPLANE
• Elevator –movable, horizontal section of the tail that causes the airplane to climb and descend.
•When the elevator moves one direction, • the nose moves in the same direction • (up or down).
PARTS OF AN AIRPLANE
• Vertical Stabilizer- fixed piece on tail
• Keeps aircraft stable
• Keeps nose of plane from moving from
• side to side
PARTS OF AN AIRPLANE
•Horizontal Stabilizer- • Keeps nose of plane from moving up or down
• In front of Elevators
FORCES ON AN AIRPLANE
• There are 4 forces on an airplane
• THRUST—a force created by the engine that moves the airplane forward.
•Pulls airplane through the air.
FORCES ON AN AIRPLANE
• There are 4 forces on an airplane
• LIFT—The up ward pushing force.
• It moves the aircraft upward.
FORCES ON AN AIRPLANE
•There are 4 forces on an airplane
•DRAG—created by resistance against all the surfaces of the airplane.
FORCES ON AN AIRPLANE
•There are 4 forces on an airplane
•GRAVITY— a force pulling down on the airplane;
• it’s the same force that keeps you on the earth.
MOVEMENTS OF AN AIRPLANE
• 3 Axis’Movements of an Airplane• Yaw• Pitch• Roll• Combinations of these • three controls enable • an airplane to maneuver.
MOVEMENTS OF AN AIRPLANE
Roll• Roll is known as the rising
or dipping of the airplane's wing. • a Longitudinal axis • stretching from the nose to
the tail of the aircraft.
ROLL
• Ailerons control •Opposite directions •One up-one down• Bank or Roll• Longitudinal Axis• Nose to tail
MOVEMENTS OF AN AIRPLANE
YAW• move towards the left/
right • vertical axis• controlled by the rudder. • Left/Right
MOVEMENTS OF AN AIRPLANE
Pitch• movement of the airplane's
nose
• up or down.
• Vertical axis
• stretching from one wing tip to the other.
• The elevator controls the pitch.
MOVEMENTS OF AN AIRPLANE
• Rudder controls Yaw left/right
• Elevator controls Pitch nose up/down
• Ailerons control Roll
AIRPLANE TERMS
• Propulsion•2 Latin words•Pro- before or forwards•Pellere- drive•means to push forward or drive an object forward.
AVIATION
•Ground Speed-
is the horizontal speed of an aircraft relative to the ground.
A plane going vertical ground speed is zero.
AVIATION
•Airspeed
• The airspeed relative to the air around it.
•Displays airspeed through air
•Measured in Knots (nautical miles per hour)
AIRPLANE TERMS
•Stall-• is what happens when an airfoil (Wing) can not make enough lift to keep the aircraft in level flight.
