Airplane
Parts/Functions
Answers
- What are the names
of the parts of the airplane?
- A: Vertical
Stabilizer
- B: Rudder
- C: Elevator
- D: Horizontal
Stabilizer
- E: Flaps
- F: Aileron
- G: Wing
- H: Jet
Engine
- I: Fuselage
- J: Slats
- Describe the following
aircraft motions.
- Pitch:
Dip or rise of the airplane's nose
- Roll: Rotation
of the wings of an airplane about its center of gravity located
on its longitudinal axis
- Yaw: Side
to side movement of the airplanes nose
- Loop: The
airplane flies in a circular path in a vertical plane with the
lateral axis of the aircraft remaining horizontal.
- Dive: Nose
down decrease in altitude
- Climb: Nose
up increase in altitude
- Lift: Force
generated by turning of airflow which holds an airplane in the
air
- What are the functions
of the parts of the airplane?
- A: To
control side to side movement of the airplane's nose (yaw)
- B: To
cause side to side movement of the nose of the airplane (yaw)
for maneuvering
- C: To
cause up or down movement of the nose of the airplane (pitch)
for maneuvering
- D: To
control up and down movement of the nose of the airplane (pitch)
- E: To
provide and control additional lift during takeoff and landing
of the airplane
- F: To
modify wing lift thus causing roll of the wings from side to side(clockwise/counterclockwise)
about the airplane's center of gravity
- G: Provide
most of the lift required for flight
- H: Provides
force to propel the airplane through the air
- I: Platform
to hold all of the pieces together
- J: To
provide and control additional lift during takeoff and landing
of the airplane
- Which parts are
used to control lift at low speed for takeoff and landing? Flaps
and slats
- Which parts, installed
one to each wing, operate in opposite directions (i.e., one up and one
down)? Aileron
- If the part in
Problem 4 on the right wing is up and the one on the left wing is down,
what will the airplane do? Roll to the right
(counter clockwise)
- If the pilot lowers
the elevator, what will the airplane's tail do? Tilt
up
- What will this
in turn cause the airplane's nose to do? Tilt
down
- If the pilot moves
the rudder to the left, what will the airplane's tail do? Move
to the right
- What will this
is turn cause the airplane's nose to do? Move
to the left
- What airplane motion
will occur with the elevator deflected up and the rudder deflected to
the right? Nose up and to the right. With
enough power it will create a climbing turn to the right (Remember:
The motion of all airplane parts is as if you were looking at the airplane
from the front).
- What is a spoiler?
Control surface between the leading and
trailing edges of the wings; used on large airliners in place of ailerons
to produce roll for maneuvering
