Aircraft Components
Although airplanes are designed for various purposes, most have the same main components as one another. The main character of an airplane is determined by the original purpose of its design. Most aircraft structures consist of Fusselage (airframe), Wing (wings), Empennage (tail), Landing gear (landing gear), and Power plant (engine and propeller).
Here’s the explanation:
1. Fuselage
The fuselage, is the most important part of the aircraft. This is because this is where all aircraft activities run. Starting from the pilot who controls the plane, the cabin, to the items stored, everything happens at Fuselage.
The fuselage itself consists of several parts, namely the cockpit, passenger cabin, cargo compartment (luggage), and so on.
2. Wing
The wing, is an airfoil that is attached to each side of the fuselage and is the surface that lifts the aircraft in the air. There are a variety of wing designs, sizes and shapes. Each design meets the requirements of the performance expected for a particular aircraft design.
3. Empennage
Empennage, is one of the most important parts of the plane, namely the tail of the plane. The tail of the plane is used to turn the plane left or right. As well as to control the plane to go up or down and then can adjust the height of the plane. Not only that, the tail of the plane also serves to store the black box or the plane’s black box which functions to record all events on the plane.
4. Landing gear
Landing gear, is the main support for the aircraft when parking, taxiing (moving on the ground), taking off, or at the time of landing.
5. Power plants
Power plants usually include engines and propellers. The main function of the engine is to provide power to rotate the propellers. The engines also generate electric power, provide a source of vacuum for some aircraft instruments, and in most single-engine aircraft, provide heating for the pilot and passengers.
