What are the 3 different types of Fuselages? - answer✔-Truss
-Monocoque
-Semi-monocoque
Explain a Truss Fuselage - answer✔Typically made of steel tubing welded together, which
enables the structure to handle tension and compression loads
Explain a Monocoque Fuselage - answer✔Single shell fuselage which uses a stronger skin to
handle the tension and compression load
Explain a Semi-monocoque Fuselage - answer✔Combination of the truss and monocoque
fuselage, and is most commonly used
What part of the tail is referred to as the "empennage"? - answer✔Tail Assembly
Tail assembly - answer✔- Commonly referred to as the "empennage"
- Includes a tail cone, fixed stabilizer (horizontal & vertical) and moveable surfaces to assist in
directional control
What are the moveable surfaces of the empennage? (Axis's) - answer✔- Rudder which is on
vertical stabilizer
- Elevators are attached to the horizontal Stabilizers
What is the Trim System? - answer✔Used to counteract hydro mechanical and aerodynamic
forces acting on the aircraft
Describe Slats - answer✔- Slats are located on the middle to outboard portion of the leading edge
of the wing. Used to create additional lift and slower flight by extending the shape of the wing.
- Flaps and slats are hidden inside the wing and extended during take off
Describe Spoiler - answer✔Located in the upper or trailing edge of the wing and are used to
decrease lift. They allow the nose of the aircraft to be pitched down without increasing the
airspeed allowing for safe landing
Describe Flaps - answer✔- These are the hinged portion of the wing trailing edge between
ailerons and the fuselage. Sometimes may be located on the leading edge of wing.
- If USED during take off, flaps reduce the amount of runway and time needed to take off.
- During LANDINGS flaps increase the drag on the wings slowing the plane down and to go
slower during landing, reducing the amount of runway needed.
- BASICALLY, flaps allow aircraft to make more lift at slower speeds
List the Secondary Flight Controls - answer✔- Flaps
- Slats
- Spoilers
- Speed Brake
- Trim system
Describe the Rudder - answer✔Mounted on the trailing edge of the vertical fin and is used for
controlling rotation (YAW) around the vertical axis
Describe Ailerons - answer✔Mounted on the trailing edges of the wings and are used for
controlling aircraft roll about the longitudinal axis
- located on the outer, trailing edges of the wings,
Describe Elevators - answer✔Mounted on the trailing edges of horizontal stabilizers and are used
for controlling aircraft pitch about the lateral axis
List the primary Flight controls - answer✔- Elevators
- Ailerons
- Rudders
4 Altitudes of flying - answer✔- Pitch
- Bank
- Power Control
- Trim Control
Pitch Control - answer✔the angle formed by the lateral axis of the aircraft
