24
is a wing that angles either backward or occasionally forward from its root rather than in a straight sideways direction.
Swept back wing
25
known as a "swing wing", is an airplane wing, or set of wings, that may be swept back and then returned to its original position during flight
Variable geometry wing
26
what are the wing components
wing flaps spar fuel tank skin aileron ribs stringers wingtip
27
 are the main support of the structure of wings
Ribs
28
helps to connect and intact the ribs and other parts
Stringers
29
Is the coating of the structure
Skin
30
one of the longitudinal members of the wing of an airplane that carry the wings
Spar
31
are control surfaces attached to each wing that move in the opposite direction from one another to control roll about the longitudinal axis.
Ailerons
32
  are attached to the trailing edge of the wing and are used during approach and landing to increase wing lift
Wing Flaps
33
Adds lift and can make your airplane take off at short distances
Wing Flaps Operation during take-off
34
Increases the angle of descent without increasing your airspeed (Slow flights)
Wing Flaps Operation during approach/landing
35
When an airplane turns right, right aileron will deflect upward, and the left aileron will deflect downward.
Ailerons’ position during maneuvers
36
 part of your empennage component that helps stabilize your horizontal component
Horizontal stabilizer
37
part of your empennage component that helps stabilize your vertical component
Vertical stabilizer
38
attached to your vertical stabilizer that helps you to yaw your airplane
Rudder
39
 attached to your horizontal stabilizer that makes your airplane pitch up or pitch down
Elevator
40
empennage components
horizontal stabilizer vertical stabilizer rudder' elevator trim tabs
41
Consist the Elevator
Horizontal Stabilizer
42
is the primary control device for changing the “PITCH” attitude of an airplane
Elevator
43
How do you operate the elevator?
By pulling or pushing the yoke/stick
44
controls movement of the aircraft about its vertical axis. The movement it called “YAW”
Rudder
45
How do you operate the rudders?
By stepping and pushing the rudder pedals
46
Different Designs of Empennage
conventional t-tail triple tail h-tail cruciform v tail inverted v-tail twin boom tail y-tail
47
This design is structurally more compact and aerodynamically more efficient.Also known as Low Tail.
Conventional Type
48
In which the horizontal stabilizer is mounted on top of the fin creating a “T” shape.
T-tail Type
49
Same with conventional type the only purpose is to fit the tail section in a regular hangar.
Triple-tail Type
50
its tail is shaped like an H
H-tail Type
51
In which the horizontal stabilizers are placed midway up the vertical stabilizer, giving the appearance of a cross.
Cruciform Type
52
It has the “ruddervator” a combination of rudder and elevator in a butterfly tail (V-tail).
V-tail Type
53
It has the “ruddervator” a combination of rudder and elevator in a butterfly tail (V-tail). This one is only inverted.
Inverted V-tail Type
54
Are designed with two structural components (booms) extending rearward from the main fuselage, with the empennage (tail assembly) located between them.
Twin Boom tail Type
55
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”.
Y-tail Type
56
Two types of landing gear
Fixed landing gear retractable landing gear
57
Types of tricycle landing gear
tail wheel nose wheel
58
Always remains extended and has the advantage of simplicity combined with low Maintenance.
Fixed Landing Gear
59
This landing can be extended and retracted or stowed inside the fuselage or structure during cruising flight
Retractable Landing Gear
60
It allows more forceful application of the brakes during landings at high speeds without causing the aircraft to nose over.
Tricycle
61
Two wheels below of fuselage and one wheel below the empennage
Tail Wheel
62
One wheel in the nose part and two below the fuselage
Nose wheel
63
a propeller that leonardo da vinci made
aerial screw
64
Types of Propeller
Fixed Pitch propeller Adjustable Pitch propeller
65
 is set at installation and cannot be changed during aircraft operation.
fixed pitch propeller
66
Under Adjustable Pitch
Constant Speed or Controllable Pitch
67
it permits the pitot to select the blade angle for the most efficient performance.
controllable pitch or constant speed
