1. FLIGHT MECHANICS Airplane (fixed wing aircraft ) configuration and various parts Presented by - Ganesh Natarajan S Target Audience: Gate Aerospace, Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering Students, etc.

2. Airplane configuration and various parts Airplane Configurations Airplane Parts

3. Airplane (fixed wing aircraft) configuration Airplane Configuration: Basically configuration is defined as an arrangement of parts or elements in a particular form, figure, or combination . In specific the airplane (fixed wing aircraft) configurations are considered for GATE Aerospace perspective. Configuration Categories: Airplane can be classified based on many categories Homebuilt Single engine propeller driven airplane Twin engine propeller driven airplane Agricultural airplane Business jet Regional turboprop Jet transport Supersonic civil transport (SCT) Military transport, patrol and bomb airplanes

4. Overall configuration: Land based airplane Sea plane Amphibian plane Conventional (tail aft) Canard Three-surface airplane Flying wing Pivoting oblique wing airplane Airplane (fixed wing aircraft) configuration

5. Fuselage configuration: Conventional Fuselage Double fuselage airplane Double boom central fuselage Engine type: Piston prop Turbo prop Turbo jet Turbo fan Propfan Airplane (fixed wing aircraft) configuration

6. Engine integration: Engine in nacelles on the wing or on the fuselage Engine inside the wing or inside the fuselage Landing gear: Fixed or retractable gear Tail-wheel or nose-wheel landing gear Landing gear integration: In the wing In the engine nacelles In the fuselage In fairings Airplane (fixed wing aircraft) configuration

7. Wing: Cantilever Braced High wing position Low wing position Mid wing position Straight wing Aft swept wing Forward swept wing Pivoting oblique swept wing Wing with or without winglets Airplane (fixed wing aircraft) configuration

8. Horizontal tail: On the fuselage On two tail booms T-tail V-tail Vertical tail: On the fuselage On two tail booms On each tip of the horizontal tail Airplane (fixed wing aircraft) configuration
