1. What new information did you learn today?
-Most airplane structures include a fuselage, wings, an empennage, landing gear, and a powerplant.
-The fuselage is the central body of an airplane and is designed to accommodate the crew, passengers, and cargo.
-Older types of aircraft design utilized an open truss structure constructed of wood, steel, or aluminum tubing.
-The wings are airfoils attached to each side of the fuselage and are the main lifting surfaces that support the airplane in flight. There are numerous wing designs, sizes, and shapes used by the various manufacturers.
-Wings can be attached at the top, middle, or lower part of the fuselage. These designs are referred to as high-, mid-, and low-wing, respectively. The number of wings can also vary. Airplanes with a single set of wings are referred to asmonoplanes, while those with two sets are called biplanes.

3. What makes you think that the information you found was credible?
Because most of this is on other sites too.
4. What do you think your approach for your presentation will be?
I think I will be making a power point to show what I have learned, but I don't know how to get the class involved in my presentation.
