2. Main Teaching Points
• Parts of an Airplane
• Aircraft Construction
• Landing Gear
• Standard Terminology
3. Definition
The airplane is defined as:
• A power-driven…
• Heavier-than air aircraft…
• Deriving its lift in flight from aerodynamic
reactions…
• On surfaces that remain fixed under given
conditions of flight.
20. Landing Gear
• Conventional (Tail-Dragger) - Two main wheels
and a tail wheel
• Tricycle – Two main wheels and a nose wheel
• Retractable - Wheels may be raised so that they
are enclosed in wings or fuselage (reducing
drag)
• Fixed - Landing gear is not designed to retract
26. Landing Gear
Shock Absorption
• Absorb the impact of landing, or the effect of bumps in runway.
• Spring steel Landing Gear
• Air/Oil oleos
• Rubber cords (bungee) or discs
• Low pressure tires
29. Landing Gear - Brakes
Brakes
• Provide a means of stopping the aircraft
• Assist with steering on the ground
30. Confirmation
• How would you
describe the aircraft to
the left?
• -tail dragger?
• -tricycle gear?
• -retractable gear?
• -float plane?
• -high wing?
• -low wing?
• -mid wing?
• -biplane?
• Request the use of the
tools to label the
aircraft.
40. Angle of Attack
Angle of Attack
• The angle between the chord line and the relative airflow
• It is a measure of how much the wing ‘bites’ into the air
