The airplane is increasingly becoming an indispensable means of transportation for modern civilization.
It has profoundly changed and influenced people's lives.
Let's learn about the construction of airplanes.
The main components of flight
1. Wing
2. Fuselage
3. Tailplane
4. Landing gear
5. Power unit
1. Wing
The main function of the wing is to generate lift to support the aircraft in the air, and also play a certain role in stability and operation.
The wing is generally installed with ailerons and flaps, manipulating the ailerons can make the aircraft roll, put down the flaps can make the lift increase.
The wing can also be installed with engines, landing gear, and fuel tanks. The shape and size of the wings are different for different aircraft.
2. Fuselage
The main function of the fuselage is to carry the crew, passengers, weapons, cargo, and various equipment, and to connect the other parts of the aircraft such as wings, tail, and engines into a whole.
3. Tailplane
The tailplane includes horizontal tailplane and vertical tailplane.
The horizontal tail consists of a fixed horizontal stabilizer and a movable elevator, and some high-speed aircraft combine the horizontal stabilizer and elevator into a fully movable flat tail.
The vertical tail consists of a fixed vertical stabilizer and a movable rudder.
The role of the tail is to manipulate the aircraft's pitch and deflection to ensure that the aircraft can fly smoothly.
4. Landing gear
The landing gear of the aircraft is mostly composed of shock-absorbing struts and wheels, which are used to support the aircraft during takeoff, landing taxiing, ground taxiing, and parking.
5. Power unit
The power unit is mainly used to generate tension and thrust to make the aircraft move forward.
Secondly, it can also provide power for other electrical equipment on the aircraft.
Now the aircraft power plant is widely used: aviation piston engines plus propeller propellers, turbojet engines, turboprop engines, and turbofan engines.
In addition to the engine itself, the power plant also includes a series of systems to ensure the proper operation of the engine.
To ensure the proper functioning of the engine system.
In addition to the five main parts of the aircraft, according to the aircraft operation and the need to carry out the task, but also equipped with a variety of instruments, communication equipment, pilotage equipment, safety equipment, and other equipment.
Now, do you know more about the structure of the aircraft?
