Primary Flight Control System - ANSWERSManages ailerons, elevators, and rudder. Input on this system changes airflow pressure and distribution. Secondary Flight Control System - ANSWERSManages wing flaps, leading edge devices, spoilers, and trim tabs. Assists in optimizing aircraft performance during a flight. Input on this system increases lift and adjusts drag. Cowlings - ANSWERSRemovable pieces of an aircraft's outer skin that protect important areas on the aircraft from aerodynamic an...

Wings - ANSWERSThe primary airfoils of the airplane Airfoil - ANSWERSAnything designed to produce lift when it moves through the air Leading Edge - ANSWERSPart of an airfoil that is thicker and rounder and has a greater curve than the bottom, or trailing edge Fuselage - ANSWERSThe main body of the airplane. Includes basic features of the airplane, such as the cockpit, cabin, cargo area, and attachment points for external components like the wings and landing gear Tail Assembly / Empe...
