Q

are the main support of the structure of wings

A

Ribs

28
Q

helps to connect and intact the ribs and other parts

A

Stringers

29
Q

Is the coating of the structure

A

Skin

30
Q

one of the longitudinal members of the wing of an airplane that carry the wings

A

Spar

31
Q

are control surfaces attached to each wing that move in the opposite direction from one another to control roll about the longitudinal axis.

A

Ailerons

32
Q

are attached to the trailing edge of the wing and are used during approach and landing to increase wing lift

A

Wing Flaps

33
Q

Adds lift and can make your airplane take off at short distances

A

Wing Flaps Operation during take-off

34
Q

Increases the angle of descent without increasing your airspeed
(Slow flights)

A

Wing Flaps Operation during approach/landing

35
Q

When an airplane turns right, right aileron will deflect upward, and the left aileron will deflect downward.

A

Ailerons’ position during maneuvers

36
Q

part of your empennage component that helps stabilize your horizontal component

A

Horizontal stabilizer

37
Q

part of your empennage component that helps stabilize your vertical component

A

Vertical stabilizer

38
Q

attached to your vertical stabilizer that helps you to yaw your airplane

A

Rudder

39
Q

attached to your horizontal stabilizer that makes your airplane pitch up or pitch down

A

Elevator

40
Q

empennage components

A

horizontal stabilizer
vertical stabilizer
rudder’
elevator
trim tabs

41
Q

Consist the Elevator

A

Horizontal Stabilizer

42
Q

is the primary control device for changing the “PITCH” attitude of an airplane

A

Elevator

43
Q

How do you operate the elevator?

A

By pulling or pushing the yoke/stick

44
Q

controls movement of the aircraft about its vertical axis. The movement it called “YAW”

A

Rudder

45
Q

How do you operate the rudders?

A

By stepping and pushing the rudder pedals

46
Q

Different Designs of Empennage

A

conventional
t-tail
triple tail
h-tail
cruciform
v tail
inverted v-tail
twin boom tail
y-tail

47
Q

This design is structurally more compact and aerodynamically more efficient.Also known as Low Tail.

A

Conventional Type

48
Q

In which the horizontal stabilizer is mounted on top of the fin creating a “T” shape.

A

T-tail Type

49
Q

Same with conventional type the only purpose is to fit the tail section in a regular hangar.

A

Triple-tail Type

50
Q

its tail is shaped like an H

A

H-tail Type

51
Q

In which the horizontal stabilizers are placed midway up the vertical stabilizer, giving the appearance of a cross.

A

Cruciform Type

52
Q

It has the “ruddervator” a combination of rudder and elevator in a butterfly tail (V-tail).

A

V-tail Type

53
Q

It has the “ruddervator” a combination of rudder and elevator in a butterfly tail (V-tail). This one is only inverted.

A

Inverted V-tail Type

54
Q

Are designed with two structural components (booms) extending rearward from the mainfuselage, with the empennage (tail assembly) located between them.

A

Twin Boom tail Type

55
Q

It has a “ruddervator” which common in a V-tail design and it has a small rudder at the base of tail hence the shape “Y”.

A

Y-tail Type

56
Q

Two types of landing gear

A

Fixed landing gear
retractable landing gear

57
Q

Types of tricycle landing gear

A

tail wheel
nose wheel

58
Q

Always remains extended and has the advantage of simplicity combined with low Maintenance.

A

Fixed Landing Gear

59
Q

This landing can be extended and retracted or stowed inside the fuselage or structure during cruising flight

A

Retractable Landing Gear

60
Q

It allows more forceful application of the brakes during landings at high speeds without causing the aircraft to nose over.

A

Tricycle

61
Q

Two wheels below of fuselage and one wheel below the empennage

A

Tail Wheel

62
Q

One wheel in the nose part and two below the fuselage

A

Nose wheel

63
Q

a propeller that leonardo da vinci made

A

aerial screw

64
Q

Types of Propeller

A

Fixed Pitch propeller
Adjustable Pitch propeller

65
Q

is set at installation and cannot be changed during aircraft operation.

A

fixed pitch propeller

66
Q

Under Adjustable Pitch

A

Constant Speed or Controllable Pitch

67
Q

it permits the pitot to select the blade angle for the most efficient performance.

A

controllable pitch or constant speed
