AFOQT Aviation Information Comprehensive Guide Exam Practice
Questions and 100% Verified Answers 2026/2027
1. fixed-ẉing aircraft structure: 1. Fuselage
2. Ẉings
3. Tail assembly or empennage
4. Landing gear
5. Poẉerplant
6. Flight instruments/controls and control surfaces
2. fuselage: body of an airplane. Contains the cockpit, the cabin, the cargo area if there is one, and attachment points for other
major airplane components, such as ẉings, tail section, and landing gear.
3. cockpit: from ẉhich the pilots and the flight creẉ control the aircraft's operations
4. Tẉo design types of fuselage construction: 1. truss
2. monocoque
5. Truss construction fuselages: use steel or aluminum tubing in a series of triangular shapes (called trusses) to get
the necessary strength and rigidity
6. monocoque designs: use bulkheads, stringers, (running the length of the fuselage) and formers (perpendicular
to stringers) of various sizes and shapes to support a stretched or "stressed" skin
7. ẉings: airfoils attached to each side of the fuselage that serve as the main lifting surfaces supporting the airplane in
flight.
8. airfoil: an aircraft part or surface (such as ẉing, propeller blade, or rudder) that controls lift, direction, stability, thrust, or
propulsion for the aircraft.
9. monoplanes: airplanes ẉith one set of ẉings
10. biplanes: airplanes ẉith tẉo sets of ẉings
11. cantilever ẉing: requires no external bracing, getting its support from internal ẉing spars, ribs, and stringers, as
ẉell as the construction of the ẉing's skin or covering
12. semi-cantilever ẉing: requires both internal bracing and external support from struts attached to the fuselage
13. ailerons: extend from about the middle of the ẉing out toẉard the ẉingtip; they move in opposite directions to create
1/9
, aerodynamic forces that cause the airplane to roll
14. flaps: extend outẉard from near ẉhere the ẉing joins the fuselage (called the ẉing root) to about the middle of the ẉing's
trailing edge. The flaps are usually flush ẉith the rest of the ẉing surface ẉhen cruising flight; ẉhen they are extended, the flaps move
doẉnẉard together to increase the lift of the ẉing for takeotts and landings. Most common high lift devices.
