amt 121 Flashcards
Involves joining of various compnonents and structures that form an entire aircraft
Aircraft Assembly
refers to the positioning and alignment of an aircraft’s major sub assembliew to produce a synergistic design.
For example, Airplanes that are typically fabricated in a number of major sub assemblies.
Aircraft Rigging
5 main components of aircraft
Fuselage Wings PowerPlant Empennage
Landing Gear
One of the major components on an aircraft. It is the long hollow tube thats also known as the body of the airplane.
Fuselage
IN the fuselage what does it usually contains
cockpit, pilots, passengers, cargo
also commonly known as foils. The airflow over the wings is what generates the majority of the lifting force necessary for flight.
Along with the large —- outstretch from the middle of the fuselage, the ____ also inclulde two smaller ones in the back
Wings
Includes the engine and propeller of the aircraft.
A complicated system that is comprised of many smaller parts like cylinders, fans, and piston.
POwerplant
What does a powerplant usually contains.
Cylinders
fans
Pistonss
engine
Propeller
Cowling
You cannot havbe a safe plane without having a plenty of_____
Landing Gear
What does the landing gear includes
Shock Absorbers, Wheels
The tail of the airplane
Empennage
What does empennage consists of
Horizontal Stabilizer, Vertical Stabilizer, Elevators, Rudderts.
It means by which a pilot controls the direction and altitude of an aircraft
FLight Controls
Two types of flight controls
Primary Flight Controls, Secondary Flight Controls
movement of any the three flight control surfaces. (Ailerons, elevator, or stabilizer, Rudder). Changes the airflow and pressure distribution over and around the airfoil
Primary Flight Controls
3 components of flight Controls
Aileron
Elevator
Rudder
are primary flight controls that provide roll. They control the aircraft movement about the longitudinal axis.
Aileron
Controls the movement of the aircraft about the lateral axis (pitch). Attatched to the hinges on the rear spar of the horizontal stabilizer
Elevator
