The Wilbur and Orville Wright did not try to imitate the flight of bird’s flight, but they built a machine for flying, this was the original flight. A flying machine is exactly what an airplane is. An airplane flies even though it is heavier than air. Supporting it on wings so shaped that the air flowing over them gives them lift it propels itself through the air. Piston-engine and jet-driven aircraft, gliders, helicopters, and winged guided missiles are all included in the term airplane. Airplane by short means any power-driven aircraft with a fixed wing in a narrower sense. This is the general meaning of the word. Aero plane is the form used by the British. They are called as plane in short. An airframe, power plant, instruments, furnishings, and accessories usually form the airplane. The airframe includes the wings, tail assembly, fuselage, engine mount and landing gear. The body of the airplane is called as the fuselage. The airfoils which provide the lift are called the wings .The hinged portions of the wing that control rolling of the airplane are known as Ailerons. The other hinged sections, usually placed at the rear of a wing are called flaps. They increase lift or drag, making possible shorter takeoffs and slower landings.
