AFOQT Aviation
Information questions and
answers
fixed-wing aircraft structure - answer 1. Fuselage
2. Wings
3. Tail assembly or empennage
4. Landing gear
5. Powerplant
6. Flight instruments/controls and control surfaces


fuselage - answer body of an airplane. Contains the cockpit, the
cabin, the cargo area if there is one, and attachment points for
other major airplane components, such as wings, tail section, and
landing gear.


cockpit - answer from which the pilots and the flight crew control
the aircraft's operations


Two design types of fuselage construction - answer 1. truss
2. monocoque


Truss construction fuselages - answer use steel or aluminum tubing
in a series of triangular shapes (called trusses) to get the necessary
strength and rigidity


monocoque designs - answer use bulkheads, stringers, (running the
length of the fuselage) and formers (perpendicular to stringers) of
various sizes and shapes to support a stretched or "stressed" skin

, wings - answer airfoils attached to each side of the fuselage that
serve as the main lifting surfaces supporting the airplane in flight.


airfoil - answer an aircraft part or surface (such as wing, propeller
blade, or rudder) that controls lift, direction, stability, thrust, or
propulsion for the aircraft.


monoplanes - answer airplanes with one set of wings


biplanes - answer airplanes with two sets of wings


cantilever wing - answer requires no external bracing, getting its
support from internal wing spars, ribs, and stringers, as well as the
construction of the wing's skin or covering


semi-cantilever wing - answer requires both internal bracing and
external support from struts attached to the fuselage


ailerons - answer extend from about the middle of the wing out
toward the wingtip; they move in opposite directions to create
aerodynamic forces that cause the airplane to roll


flaps - answer extend outward from near where the wing joins the
fuselage (called the wing root) to about the middle of the wing's
trailing edge. The flaps are usually flush with the rest of the wing
surface when cruising flight; when they are extended, the flaps
move downward together to increase the lift of the wing for takeoffs
and landings. Most common high lift devices.


chord line - answer the distance from the leading edge of the wing
to the trailing edge. Cuts the airfoil into an upper surface and a
lower surface
