combat aircraft [2]

Military aircraft used for attack purposes.
combat aircraft [2] Missile fired from a helicopter or an aircraft; its target is an aircraft or another missile. Device used to launch the missile. Glass window covering the cockpit. Seat designed to be projected from the aircraft in the event of an emergency. Rigid casing that radio waves can pass through; it protects the radar system. Part that supplies the turbojet with the air required for combustion. Retractable mechanism that enables the aircraft to land; it is located at the front end. Retractable mechanism that enables the aircraft to land; it is located behind the aircraft’s center of gravity under its wings. Articulated panel on the front of the wing. Horizontal surface on which aerodynamic forces are exerted to keep the aircraft in the air. Articulated flap on the trailing edge of the wing that deploys downward to increase the aircraft’s lift on takeoff. Aerodynamic flap at the back of the aircraft; it is used to reduce speed on landing. Fixed vertical part of the tail assembly that keeps the aircraft stable. Antenna designed to detect objects by emitting radio waves and capturing the echo they reflect. Mobile part of the tail assembly that is used to balance the yaw (lateral movement) of an aircraft. Conduit through which hot gases from the turbojet engine are released. Device that opens from the tail of the aircraft to reduce speed on landing. Wing made up of the fixed horizontal tail assembly; it stabilizes the aircraft horizontally. Device that uses radio waves to detect objects such as other aircraft. Mechanism that controls the flap. Reservoir containing the fuel that allows the aircraft to fly. Metal substructure of the wings; the trailing and leading edge flaps are connected to it. Jet-propulsion turbine producing hot gases that are expelled at high speed to provide the thrust necessary to propel the aircraft.
