This document summarizes the key functions and components of an aircraft. It discusses the cockpit and controls used by the pilot, including the yoke and rudder pedals. It describes the different types of cargo that can be carried on aircraft and defines a cargo aircraft. It outlines the major interior and exterior parts of an aircraft like the fuselage, empennage, wings, and engines. Emergency equipment like evacuation slides and safety features like passenger service units and jump seats are also summarized. The document was submitted as an assignment on aircraft functions.

2. Acknowledgement
I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my
teacher shikha mam who gave me the opportunity to do this
wonderful project on functions of an aircraft, which also
helped me in doing a lot of Research and I came to know
about so many new things I am really thankful to her.
Secondly I would also like to thank my friends who helped me
a lot in finalizing this project within the limited time frame

4. COCKPIT
The cockpit, in the front, is where the pilot sits
and controls the plane. A mass of dials and
switches keeps track of all the plane's systems;
among them are altitude, how high you are flying;
your compass reading, where exactly you are in
the sky and a gauge that measures fuel
consumption. The yoke, sort of an odd-looking
steering wheel, along with the rudder pedals on
the floor of the plane, are the main controls. The
yoke steers the plane up or down and keeps the
plane flying level, also known as attitude. On
small planes, the yoke is manually controlled by
the pilot it feels like manipulating a car steering
wheel, but without the power steering. The
rudders help with turning the plane. Larger planes
use hydraulics to help the pilot control the craft.

5. CARGO in AIRCRAFTS
Just about every passenger flight is carrying
some freight along with the passengers and
their baggage. ... For instance, a Boeing 747-
400 (one of the largest passenger planes) can
hold 416 passengers along with 5,330 cubic
feet (150 m3) of cargo. That's about as
much cargo as can fit in two semi-truck trailers.
Heavy cargo (HEA)
Human remains (HUM)
Live Animals (AVI)
Dangerous Goods (DGR)
Diplomatic Cargo Shipments (DIP)
Perishable Cargo (PER)
Valuable cargo (VAL)

6. A cargo aircraft (also known as freight aircraft, freighter, airlifter
or cargo jet) is a fixed-wing aircraft that is designed or converted for the
carriage of cargo rather than passengers. Such aircraft usually do not
incorporate passenger amenities and generally feature one or more
large doors for loading cargo.

7. An aircraft cabin is the section of an aircraft in which
passengers travel. ... These can include travel class
sections in medium and large aircraft, areas for flight
attendants, the galley and storage for in-flight
service. Seats are mostly arranged in rows and alleys.

8. The fuselage or the body of the airplane, holds all of the pieces together. The pilots sit in the cockpit at the front of the fuselage, while passengers and cargo are
carried in the rear of the Some aircraft carry fuel in the fuselage, while others carry fuel in the wings.
The empennage is the tail of the aircraft and its main purpose is to give stability to the It consists of two flight control surfaces, the elevator, and the rudder. The
elevator steers up or down and the rudder steers from right to left.
The wings are the primary lifting surfaces for the aircraft. A wing is a type of fin with a surface, which produces aerodynamic force for flight or propulsion through the
atmosphere. The airflow over the wing is what generates the vast majority of lifting force necessary for flight.
The powerplant or the engine generates the power or thrust for the aircraft. Private jets usually have two engines.
The landing gear allows the aircraft to take off, land, and taxi, and also provides shock absorbers to enable smooth landing and takeoff.

9. An evacuation slide is an inflatable slide used to evacuate an aircraft
quickly. An escape slide is required on all commercial aircraft where the
door sill height is such that, in the event of an evacuation, passengers
would be unable to step down from the door uninjured

10. The Cabin
Intercommunication Data
System (CIDS for short) is
introduced. In order to be
able to measure its method
of operation as progress in
its function and in the actual
equipment, the type and
extent of cabin equipment in
aircraft are briefly
explained.

11. A passenger service unit is an aircraft component situated
above each row in the overhead panel above the passenger
seats in the cabin of airliners. Among other things, a PSU
contains reading lights, loudspeakers, illuminated signs, air
condition vents, and automatically deployed oxygen masks

12. JUMP SEATS
These might include trainee pilots, off-duty crew members
in transition to another airport, government officials,
or airline staff. The passenger cabin jump seats are used by
the cabin crew, especially during takeoff and landing.
