Across
  1. 4. A vertical hinged surface on the vertical stabilizer that controls the aircraft’s yaw (movement left or right around the vertical axis).
  2. 5. A hinged surface on the horizontal stabilizer that controls the aircraft’s pitch (nose up or nose down).
  3. 6. The housing or enclosure that holds and protects the aircraft engine(s).
  4. 10. The interior section of the aircraft where passengers and crew sit.
  5. 12. A powerplant that uses expelled gases to produce thrust.
  6. 14. The forward tip of the fuselage
  7. 15. The area at the front of the fuselage where the pilots control and operate the aircraft.
  8. 17. Small plates on the top surface of the wings that can be raised to reduce lift and increase drag, aiding in descent and landing.
  9. 18. The rear part of the airplane, including the horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer, which helps with stability and control.
  10. 19. A mechanism on jet engines that redirects the engine’s exhaust forward to help slow the aircraft after landing.
Down
  1. 1. It produces thrust by spinning through the air.
  2. 2. The central body of the aircraft that holds the cockpit, passenger cabin, and cargo area.
  3. 3. The cone-shaped aft section of the aircraft, often housing auxiliary equipment and serving aerodynamic purposes
  4. 7. A compartment inside the fuselage
  5. 8. The large surfaces extending from the sides of the fuselage that generate lift for the airplane.
  6. 9. A small, upright or angled extension at the tip of a wing that helps reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency.
  7. 11. The undercarriage used for takeoff, landing, and sometimes taxiing; it can be fixed or retractable.
  8. 13. Small, hinged sections on the outer trailing edge of each wing, used to roll the aircraft from side to side.
  9. 16. Hinged surfaces on the trailing edges of the wings that can be extended to increase lift or drag during takeoff and landing.
  10. 20. Extendable panels on the leading edge of the wings that improve lift at lower speeds, particularly during takeoff and landing.
