PAX Compartment (Cabin),
APU (Auxiliary Power Unit),
Cargo Compartment
Flight Deck

23
Q

GPU

A

Ground Power Unit - supplies electrical power to the A/C from airport. (like an extension cord, not part of A/C)

24
Q

Wings

A

Provides “lift” with wingspan of 117ft, 5in.
Includes:
S - Spoilers
A - Ailerons
L - Leading Edge Slats
T - Trailing Edge Flaps

25
Q

33
Q

Spoilers

A

Mid-back of wing, landing speed breaks (slows down A/C)

34
Q

Ailerons

A

Tip of wing, controls roll of A/C and causes it to turn by banking (smoothly)

35
Q

Leading Edge Slats

A

Front of wings, increases lift - airflow over trailing edge

36
Q

Winglets/Sharklets

A

Decreases the drag on the wing by slicing thru the air and saving fuel

37
Q

Trailing Edge Flaps

A

Back of wings, extends out during taxi in prep for takeoff and retracts in first several mins of takeoff
Used at slow speed to increase lift - more surface area for lift

38
Q

Vertical Stabilizer

A

Includes Rudder - helps A/C go left & right - control “YAW”

39
Q

Rudder

A

Turns A/C left & right (with vertical stabilizer) change “YAW”

40
Q

-powers vital systems (hydraulics, critical instrumentation)
BACKUP for BACKUP for BACKUP

49
Q

Flight Deck

A

Provides Stability & Control
