Fuselage
The
fus
is the main structure of an acft which houses the crew, and sometimes
the armament and the power plant. The
tail surfaces
or empennage and
landing gear
are attached to it. The fus also contains the pilot
cockpit
with a
canopy
.
Regardless of the attitude of an acft, there are always stresses on the fus
structure. It must be constructed to withstand all such stresses. Detail design depends
upon the function and structural requirements to the acft.
Wings
The wings are designed to develop the major portion of the lift of a HTA acft.
Wing const is similar in most modern acft. The wing is a framework composed
chiefly of
spars
and
ribs
covered with metal.
