Fuselage p2~p8
1.A semimonocoque structure primarily
2. Constructed from :conventional 2024 and 7075 aluminumalloys
Nose compartment
Cockpit
Flying controls
Majority of the system-related controls
(usually located on an overhead panel)
Glareshield contains controls for autopilots
above the main instrument panels)
Glass cockpit
EFIS
PFD(left)
PFD displays critical flight information:
calibrated airspeed,altitude,heading,attitude,vertical speed etc.
advantage:
1.increase pilot's situation awareness
2.reduce workload and increase efficiency
3.alert pilots against potential risks and make flight safer
MFD(right)
ND contains information:
navaids,waypoints,airport etc.
EICAS/ECAM
displays the aircraft’s systems conditions and engine performance
Instrument panel
Seat for flight crew
Entrance compartment
Cabin
Provideing seats for passengers and flight attendants
The number vary on aircraft type and seating configuration
Cargo compartment
Tail compartment
Attachments for the wing,tail section and the nose landing gear
Wings p9
1、Constructed from:Fabric→Aluminum→Composite
2、Held together and supported:metal spars,ribs,and stringers
3、Position:attached on the top/middle/lower portion of the fuselage
Wing tip
Leading edge
Trailing edge
Surfaceing develop aerodynamic forces that support the airplane in flight
Storeing fuel,fuel system equipment
Supporting the engines,flaps,spoilers and ailerons
Empennage p10
1、As the tail of an airplane
Fixed components
Vertiical stabilizer/Fin
Horizontal stabilizer
Steady the Airplane
Allow it to maintain straight level flight
Movable surfaces
Rudder
Elevator
Landing gear p11~p12
1、Absorbing landing loads and supporting an airplane
2Linked to the rudder rods and cables(steerable)
3、retractable/fixed gear
two main wheels
located on either side of the fuselage
the third wheel
located on the nose→tricycle gear
located on the rear →conventional/tail wheel
Power plant p13~p15
1、Function:
Generating thrust to propel an aircraft forward
Generating electric,/hydraulic/pneumatic power for airplane system
2、Position: Usually mounted on each of wings
3、Be covered by cowls
Smaller airplanes
Both engines
Propellers
Large airplanes
Turbine engines
Turbojet
Turboprops
Turbofan
Turbo shaft
APU
position:tucked in the fuselage
Self-contained unit:making aircraft independent of external pneumatic and electrical power supply
