Unit 1 The Airplane 飞行学院 wpcluke 上海工程技术大学 Teaching Plan Composition of The Text Part 1: An overview of the various parts of a plane Part 2: The tail section (empennage) Part3: Cockpit and cabin Part4: The main controls throttle main flight control Other flight controls Part 5: Instruments Part 1 What constitutes a basic airplane: a fuselage（机身） wings an empennage （尾部；尾翼） wheels engines The function of the propeller（螺旋桨） Lift (升力) Gliding descent（下滑） Part 2: The Tail Section (empennage) Location some distance to the rear of the main load carrying sections of the fuselage Function provides a balancing or stabilizing force Components a vertical stabilizer (fin) (垂直安定面) a horizontal stabilizer （水平安定面） Part3: Cockpit and Cabin Cockpit:驾驶舱 Cabin:客舱 Key points: the pilot-in-command（机长） sits on the left-hand side various controls and instruments are available in the cockpit Part4: The Main Controls Throttle（油门） Flight controls 1.Main flight controls Elevator（升降舵） Ailerons（副翼） rudder（方向舵） 2.Other flight controls Wing flaps（襟翼） The elevator trim tab（配平调整片） or similar device Throttle Operator: the pilot’s right hand Function: controls the power supplied by the engine/propeller combination Operation: push it forward more fuel/air supply to the engine the engine turns faster more power Main Flight Controls The attitude(姿态) (or position in flight relative to the earth) of the airplane is controlled using the main flight controls. These are surfaces which, when deflected（倾斜；偏转）, alter the pattern of the airflow around the wings and the tail section, causing changes in the aerodynamic forces that they generate.
