THE PLANES

A plane, is capable of flight using forward motion that causes air to pass over its wings to generate lift.

Planes include jet engine and propeller driven vehicles propelled forward by thrust, as well as unpowered aircraft

Some varieties of aircraft, such as flying wing aircraft, may lack a discernible fuselage structure and horizontal or vertical stabilizers, however the structure of a fixed-winged aircraft usually consists of the following major parts:
- A long narrow often cylindrical form, called a fuselage, usually with tapered or rounded ends to make its shape aerodynamically smooth. The fuselage carries the human flight crew if the aircraft is piloted, the passengers if the aircraft is a passenger aircraft, other cargo or payload, and engines and/or fuel if the aircraft is so equipped.

- A wing (or wings in a multiplane) with an airfoil cross-section shape, used to generate aerodynamic lifting force to support the aircraft in flight by deflecting air downward as the aircraft moves forward.

- At least one control surface (or surfaces) mounted vertically usually above the rear of the fuselage, called a vertical stabilizer.

- At least one horizontal surface at the front or back of the fuselage used to stabilize the aircraft about its pitch axis

- On powered aircraft, one or more aircraft engines are propulsion units that provide thrust to push the aircraft forward through the air.

- Landing gear, a set of wheels, skids, or floats that support the aircraft while it is on the surface.
