Airplanes

The Wright Flyer, designed and built by the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, made the first controlled, powered, and sustained flight in 1903.

Ailerons are hinged flight control surfaces on the trailing edge of the wings that are used to control the aircraft's roll, or banking, motion.

Lift is the upward force generated by an airplane's wings as they move through the air, enabling the aircraft to stay airborne.

A turbofan engine is a type of jet engine that uses a fan to accelerate a large mass of air, generating thrust.

Flaps are hinged surfaces on the trailing edge of the wings that are extended to increase lift and drag during takeoff and landing.

A monoplane is a fixed-wing aircraft with a single wing, typically located above the fuselage.

The stabilizer is the horizontal tail surface of an airplane that provides stability and controls the aircraft's pitch.

The Concorde was a supersonic passenger airliner that could fly at speeds exceeding the speed of sound.

The rudder is a hinged flight control surface on the vertical tail that is used to control the aircraft's yaw, or turning, motion.

The Sopwith Camel was a British biplane fighter aircraft used during World War I.

The fin is the vertical tail surface of an airplane that provides stability and controls the aircraft's yaw.

The ATR 72 is a turboprop passenger aircraft manufactured by ATR, a joint venture between Airbus and Leonardo.

Thrust is the forward force generated by an airplane's engines that propels it through the air.

The Sikorsky S-76 is a medium-sized helicopter manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft.

Pitch is the upward and downward movement of an airplane around its lateral axis.
