  2. Podded engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podded_engine

    Some jet fighters use podded engines, typically under and mounted directly to the wing. An example was the Messerschmitt Me 262, which had the nacelles mounted directly to the undersides of the wings, with no pylons being used. The A-10 Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft uses fuselage-mounted podded

  3. Nacelle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nacelle

    Engines in nacelles on a Boeing 707. A nacelle (/ n ə ˈ s ɛ l / nə-SEL) is a streamlined container for aircraft parts such as engines, fuel or equipment. [1] When attached entirely outside the airframe, it is sometimes called a pod, in which case it is attached with a pylon or strut and the engine is known as a podded engine. [2]

  4. Push-pull configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-pull_configuration

    Push-pull designs have the engines mounted above the wing as Dornier flying boats or more commonly on a shorter fuselage than conventional one, as for Rutan Defiant or Voyager canard designs. Twin boomers such as the Cessna Skymaster and Adam A500 have the aircraft's tail suspended via twin booms behind the pusher propeller.

  5. Tractor configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractor_configuration

    In aviation, a tractor configuration is a propeller-driven fixed-wing aircraft with its engine mounted with the propeller in front, so that the aircraft is "pulled" through the air. This is the usual configuration; the pusher configuration places the airscrew behind, and "pushes" the aircraft forward. Through common usage, the word "propeller ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strake_(aeronautics)

    Nose, wing and ventral strakes Vortices over the wing strakes of an F/A-18E Super Hornet. In aviation, a strake is an aerodynamic surface generally mounted on the fuselage of an aircraft to improve the flight characteristics either by controlling the airflow (acting as large vortex generators) or by a simple stabilising effect.

  8. Spar (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spar_(aeronautics)

    These forces are often offset by carrying fuel in the wings or employing wing-tip-mounted fuel tanks; the Cessna 310 is an example of this design feature. Downward bending loads while stationary on the ground due to the weight of the structure, fuel carried in the wings, and wing-mounted engines if used. Drag loads dependent on airspeed and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_14-A

    It was an all-metal aircraft with a thick (4 ft 3 in (1.30 m) maximum), two spar shoulder wing. Each sub-wing, themselves in two parts, was mounted on a short, rectangular plan centre-section which was an integral part of the fuselage. Beyond this, the wings had tetrahedral plans out to rounded tips.
