Parts of Airplane

 The differences between small fighters and large cargo planes are obvious. But all fixed-wing aircraft require the same basic structures. Every airplane has wings attached to the fuselage. The cockpit sits behind the nose, and the tail supports the vertical and horizontal stabilizers. Rudders, ailerons and elevators control direction. Flaps provide lift. Aircraft roll on landing gear during takeoff and landing. But not all airplanes have the same type of engine. Most modern military airplanes have turbine engines. Other airplanes use turboprops. These are more efficient for medium-sized transports.
