Plane Task Part 2 - Different Part of a Plane

Different parts of a Plane

Airfoils - have a special lift force made by altering the shape of the wing to a sort of teardrop.

Flaps - Increase lift and drag, they are for when the plane takes off and lands.

Spoiler - Change lift drag and roll.

Wing - Generates lift

Air brake - Increases drag by popping up a panel too slow down a plane faster.

Turbine engine - Generates thrust

Elevator- Change Pitch.

Cockpit- Command and Control. 

Horizontal stabilizer - Control,pitch.

Rudder - Change Yaw.

Vertical Stabilizer -  It is what the rudder sits in and it provides more stability.

Winglet- Decrease Drag.

Fuselage - Holds things together.

Propulsion - Provides thrust so the plane can fly it pushes/pulls the plane through the air.

Aileron- Change roll

Slats - increases lift.
