Introduction to aircraft components
There are thousands of designs and ideas about aircraft which have been developed through aviation history. Despite this some main components became permanent in every aircraft design. As fix-wing aircrafts are the most common aircrafts they will be the most studied. Topics covered includes: Fixed-wing aircraft components, Control surfaces, Powerplant and propulsion devices, Landing gear, Cockpit, Navigation lights, Rotary-wing aircraft components.
