Anatomy of the airplane

Fuselage is a major part of the air plane which is almost at the centre of its body. Almost the entire usable volume is concentrated here. This part carries passengers, baggage and luggage, other things to be carried and fuel. The wings serve the purpose of lifting and landing. Space underneath the wings can be used for fuel storage or for landing gear. Stabilizers of two kinds- horizontal and vertical are employed for stability of the plane during flight. They are also called tails or fins. Nacelle is a type of shroud where engines mounted from the wings are housed. To control the nose of the airplane, rudder is used. The pitching motion of the nose is controlled by elevators while the rolling motion is controlled by ailerons.
