| Fuselage | The body of the plane | 
| Landing gear | Wheels of the plane | 
| Airfoils | Also known as "wings" | 
| Flaps | Connected to the backside of the wings, slide back and down to increase the surface of the wing area. | 
| Ailerons | Connected to the backside of the wings, hinged on the wings and move downward to push the air down and make the wing tilt up | 
| Spoilers | Are used like air brakes to reduce any remaining lift and slow down the airplane | 
| Tail | At the rear of the plane, provides stability. | 
| Rudder | At the back of the plane; moves left and right to control the yaw movement of the plane | 
| Elevators | Found at the rear of the plane; can be raised or lowered to change the direction of the plane's pitch. | 
| Gas turbine | Also known as a jet engine. | 
| Thrust | The forward force that pushes the engine and, therefore, the airplane forward. | 
| Fan | the first component in a turbofan. The large spinning fan sucks in large quantities of air. | 
| Compressor | the first component in the engine core; squeezes the air that enters it into progressively smaller areas, resulting in an increase in the air pressure. | 
| Combustor | Here the air is mixed with fuel and then ignited | 
| Turbine | These are linked by a shaft to turn the blades in the compressor and to spin the intake fan at the front | 
| Nozzle | the exhaust duct of the engine |
