The Parts Of Airplane

More information

General Aviation planes vary in size and shape

but the basic parts remain the same.

General Aviation plane

Airplanes have wings that generate lift

High-wing

Low-wing

The body of an airplane is called the fuselage.

Most General Aviation airplanes have one piston engine that

drives a propeller.

The engine of the airplane.

The engine cowl covers the engine compartment

Typical airplanes have three wheels as part of the

landing gear

The Wheels

Fuel tanks are usually located inside the wings.

.

Airplanes have windshields just like a car. Light airplanes don’t need wipers as the

propeller blast clears rain away

Airplane doors vary from model to model.

Canopy

Pilot and passengers sit in the cockpit.

Most light airplanes have two, four, or six seats.

The Cockpit

Left turn

Ailerons on the rear edge of the wings tilt the wings for a turn or “bank.

Right turn

The elevator (on horizontal stabilizer) moves up

(or down) to force the nose of the airplane up (or down.)

The elevator

The elevator moves up or down.

The rudder (on the vertical stabilizer) moves the airplane’s nose left or right, helping it turn.

The rudder

Push left rudder pedal and the plane turns left Push right rudder pedal and the

plane turns right

Flaps on the wings change the shape of the wing to provide

more lift and drag. This allows the airplane to fly slower.
