Text 2. Airplane structure.

The airplane, engine-driven vehicle, can fly through the air supported by the action of the air against its wings. Airplanes are heavier than air. Airplanes generally share the same basic configuration - each usually has a fuselage, wing, tail, power plant, landing gear, and a set of specialized control surfaces mounted on the wing and tail.

The fuselage is the main cabin, or body of the аіrplane. Generally the fuselage has a cockpit section at the front end, where the pilot controls the аіrplane and a cabin section. The cabin section may be designed to carry passengers, cargo, or both. In a military fighter plane, the fuselage may house the engines, fuel, electronics and some weapons.

All airplanes, by definition, have wings. Some are nearly all wings with a very small cockpit. Others have minimal wings, or wings that seem to be merely extensions of a blended, aerodynamic fuselage, such as the space shuttle.

Most аіrplane, except for flying wings, have a tail assembly attached to the rear of the fuselage, consisting of vertical and horizontal stabilizers, which look like small wings, a rudder, and elevators. The components of the tail assembly are referred to as the empennage.

All airplanes must have some type of landing gear. Modem aircraft employ brakes, wheels, and tires designed specifically for the demands of flight.

Exercise 18. Match the terms to the definitions.

Aircraft, fuselage, wing, empennage, landing gear, power plant.

1. units which furnish means of supporting and steering the aircraft on the ground or water

3. main cabin

4. lifting and supporting surfaces

5. engine-driven vehicle

6. source of power
