C. EMPENNAGE
Known as Tail section
Consist of :
Vertical Stabilizer
Rudder
Horizontal Stabilizer
Elevators
D. POWER PLANT
A unit or machine that converts chemical energy
contains in the fuel to Thrust force.
Thrust force is essential for moving the airplane forward
and producing Lift force.
With the piston engine, the propeller is used to convert
torque at engine shaft to be thrust.
With the jet engine, the jet engine output is the thrust
force.

E. LANDING GEAR
Located underneath of the fuselage with
shock strut
Fixed / Retractable
Provides means of landing, taxiing
Tri- cycle Conventional type
Floating gear for seaplane /ski
equipped for ice surface landing
etc..

MONOCOQUE
In this method, the exterior surface of the fuselage is
also the primary structure. A typical early form of this
was built using molded plywood.
A later form of this
structure uses fiberglass
cloth impregnated with
polyester or epoxy resin,
instead of plywood, as
the skin.
19
SEMI-MONOCOQUE
This is the preferred method of constructing an allaluminum fuselage. First, a series of frames in the shape of
the fuselage cross sections are held in position on a rigid
fixture, or jig. These frames are then joined with lightweight
longitudinal elements called stringers. These are in turn
covered with a skin of sheet aluminum, attached by riveting
or by bonding with special adhesives. Most modern large
aircraft are built using this technique, but use several large
sections constructed in this fashion which are then joined
with fasteners to form the complete fuselage.

WING Structure
Many High-wing airplanes have External Braces, or wing
Struts, which transmit the flight and landing loads through
the struts to the main fuselage structure.
Since the Wing Struts are usually attached approximately
halfway out on the wing, this type of wing structure is
called SEMI-CANTILEVER.
A Few High-wing and most Low-wing airplanes have a
FULL CANTILEVER wing designed to Carry the Loads
without external struts.

EMPENNAGE Structure
The correct name for the Tail section of an airplane
is empennage.
The empennage includes the entire tail group, consisting
of fixed surfaces such as the Vertical Stabilizer
and the Horizontal Stabilizer.
The movable surfaces include the Rudder, the Elevator,
and one or more Trim Tabs.
30
EMPENNAGE STRUCTURE
(CONTD - 1)
A second type of empennage design does not require
an elevator. Instead, it incorporates a one-piece
horizontal stabilizer that pivots from a central hinge
point.
This type of design is called a Stabilator, and is moved
using the control stick, just as you would the elevator.
31
EMPENNAGE STRUCTURE
(CONTD - 2)
The Rudder is attached to the back of the vertical
stabilizer. During flight, it is used to move the airplanes
nose left and right.
The rudder is used in combination with the ailerons
for turns during flight.
The elevator, which is attached to the back of the
horizontal stabilizer, is used to move the nose of the
airplane up and down during flight.
32
EMPENNAGE STRUCTURE
(CONTD - 3)
Trim tabs are small, movable portions of the trailing
edge of the control surface.
These movable trim tabs, which are controlled from
the cockpit, reduce control pressures.
Trim tabs may be installed on the ailerons, the rudder,
and/or the elevator.

POWER PLANT
The power plant usually includes both the Engine
and the Propeller.
The primary function of the engine is to provide the
power to turn the propeller.
It also generates electrical power, provides a vacuum
source for some flight instruments, and
In most single-engine airplanes, provides a source of
heat for the pilot and passengers.
