SOLUTION TO FILL IN THE BLANKS
A
propeller
is a turning blade on the front of an airplane. The
engine
turns the propeller, which propels the airplane through the air. The main body portion of an airplane is the
fuselage
. The pilot flies the plane from the
cockpit
, where the instruments and controls are. The
wing
provides lift and supports the plane while in flight. On the wing are movable sections close to the plane’s body called
flaps
, which help the airplane fly slower during take off and landing. Turns are made by moving the
ailerons
, which are on the outer part of the wing. When the airplane is on the ground, the
landing gear
supports the plane. Retractable landing gear fold up inside the plane while in flight; fixed landing gear do not fold. In the back of the airplane is the
tail section
. This section contains the
elevator
, which moves to make the plane go up and down, the
rudder
, which controls sideward movement, the
stabilizer
, which provides smooth vertical flight, the
trim tabs
controlling pitch attitude of the craft, and the
fin
providing vertical balance.
