A fuselage, wings, empennage, landing gear, and a powerplant are all common airplane structures. - Stress is a material’s internal resistance, or counterforce, that opposes deformation. - “Stress” is often interchanged with the word “strain.” which are designed m one place air.

It gains forward thrust from an engine including powered paragliders, powered hang gliders and some ground effect vehicles.

These are a group of aerial vehicles that can fly without onboard propulsion. They can be classified as gliders, balloons and kites.

A low wing configuration places the wings anywhere below the midline of the airplane, or anywhere on below half of the fuselage's height.

A mid wing configuration places the wings exactly at the midline of the airplane, at half of the height of the fuselage. A high wing is a configuration with the wings set on the top of the airplane's body, called the fuselage.

Monoplane is a fixed wing aircraft configuration with a single main wing plane.

A biplane is a fixed wing aircraft with two main wings stacked one above the other. A triplane is a fixed wing aircraft equipped with three vertical stacked wing surfaces.

The fuselage is a long hollow tube which holds all the pieces of an airplane together. These are airfoils attached to each side of the fuselage and are the main lifting surfaces that support the airplane in flight.

It is the principal support of the airplane when parked, taxiing, taking off, or landing. Provides mechanical force to power the aircraft and associated accessories necessary for flight. This stabilizes and controls the pitch and yaw with the use of horizontal and vertical stabilizers, the rudder and the elevator.
