AIRPLANE INTRODUCTIONSLesson 1Airplanes IntroductionAirplanes come in many different shapes and sizes depending on the mission of the aircraft ,but all modern airplanes have certain components in common .These are the fuselage ,wing ,tail assembly and control surfaces ,landing gear ,and power plants. For any airplane to fly ,it must be able to lift the weight of the airplane ,its fuel ,the passengers ,and the cargo .The wings generate most of the lift to hold the plane in the air .To generate lift ,the airplane must be pushed through the air .The engines ,which are usually located beneath the wings ,provide the thrust to push the airplane forwardthrough the air.The fuselage is the body of the airplane that holds all the pieces of the aircraft together and many of the other large components are attached to it .The fuselage is generally streamlined as much as possible to reduce drag .Designs for fuselages vary widely .The fuselage houses the cockpit where the pilot and flight crew sit and it provides areas for passengers and cargo .It may also carry armaments of various sorts .Some aircraft carry fuel in the fuselage ;others carry the fuel in the wings .In addition ,an engine may be housed in the fuselage.The wing provides the principal lifting force of an airplane .Lift is obtained from the dynamic action of the wing with respect to the air. The cross-sectional shape of the wing(the shape of the wing as viewed from above) and placement of the wing on the fuselage (including the angle of incidence) ,as well as the airfoil sectionshape ,depend upon the airplane mission and the best compromise necessary in the overall airplane design.The control surfaces include all those surfaces of an airplane used for attitude ,lift ,and drag control .They include the tail assembly ,the structures at the rear of the airplane that serve to control and maneuver the aircraft and structures forming part of and attached to the wing .The tail usually has a fixed horizont
