Airplane parts

Small hinged sections on the outboard portion of a wing that are used to generate rolling motion of a plane are called:

• ailerons

• rudders

• flaps

• elevators

Any surface, such as a wing, that produces aerodynamic force when it interacts with a moving stream of air is called:

• leading edge

• pitch

• airfoil

• wing

Space in a fuselage of a small airplane containing seats for the pilot, copilot and sometimes passengers:

• fuselage

• cockpit

• sitting area

• lounge

Rear horizontal stabilizer that controls up and down motion of the nose of the aircraft:

• aileron

• rudder

• flaps

• elevator

Tail assembly of the aircraft including the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, as well as the elevators and rudders:

• cockpit

• power plant

• empennage

• airfoil

Control surfaces of a wing attached nearest the fuselage on the trailing edge of the wing that increase the lift efficiency of a wing and decrease stall speed:

• ailerons

• flaps

• elevators

• leading edge

It houses the cockpit, cabin and the hold and is a common attachment point for other major components:

• undercarriage

• empennage

• wings

• hull

Aircraft designed to fly without an engine:

• Cessna

• USS Arizona

• Boeing 747

• glider

Structure that creates up and down forces at the tail end of a plane. The structure is horizontal but creates vertical forces:

• rudder

• horizontal stabilizer

• vertical stabilizer

• elevator

Control surface on the front of a wing that catches the wind first:

• aileron

• flap

• leading edge

• slot
