1. cockpit

1.1. is

1.1.1. Contains flight controls for move the plane used to operate the various systems.

2. engines

2.1. are

2.1.1. all perform the same basic function of taking the air that’s in front of the aircraft, accelerating it and pushing it out behind the aircraft.

3. wheels

3.1. are

3.1.1. are used to land the aircraft at the time of the flight

4. empennages

4.1. are

4.1.1. the function is to help guide the destination to your aircraft

5. horizontal stabilizer

5.1. is

5.1.1. designed to provide a downward force (push) on the tail.

6. vertical stabilizer

6.1. is

6.1.1. designed to stabilize the left-right motion of the aircraft.

7. spoilers

7.1. are

7.1.1. its function is to disrupt, or spoil, the flow of air Across the Upper surface of the Wing.

8. slats

8.1. are

8.1.1. They assist curvature of the wing, to improve lifting ability at slower speeds.

9. ailerons

9.1. are

9.1.1. They work opposite to each other, meaning that when one is raised, the other.

10. fuselage

10.1. is

10.1.1. is thought of as the body of the aircraft and holds the passengers and cargo safely inside.

14.1.1.1. located on the tail of the aircraft.

15. winglet

15.1. is

15.1.1. purpose is to reduce the drag (or air resistance) the wing produces as it pushes through the air.

15.1.1.1. is located at the end of each wing

16. wings

16.1. are

16.1.1. Its shape is specifically designed for the aircraft to which it is attached. of the wing. is also used to store the fuel required to power the engines.

17. flaps

17.1. are

17.1.1. improves the lifting capacity of the wing at slower speeds by changing the curvature or curvature of the wing.

18. antennas

18.1. are

18.1.1. There are numerous radio antennas their size and position corresponding to the type

18.1.2. of work each antenna must perform and the frequencies being transmitted or received.

18.1.2.1. located around an aircraft,.
