Fuselage
The fuselage of an aircraft is the main structure that houses the flight crew, passengers, and cargo. The term comes from the French word fusele, which means 'spindle-shaped.
Fuselage stations (FS)
Fuselage stations (FS) - Reference locations, usually given in inches, used to determine forward and aft positions on an aircraft. FS - 0 is the datum.

the fuselage structure
The word fuselage is based on the French word fuseler, which means "to streamline." The fuselage must be strong and streamlined since it must withstand the forces that are created in flight.
Fuselage
An aircraft’s main body structure housing the flight crew, passengers and/or cargo cabin to which the wings, tail section and engines are attached.

Fuselage Construction
The fuselage of a model aeroplane that is intended to fly may be constructed in a number of ways depending on the required performance envelope of the model aircraft.

When an aircraft is exposed to ice several things may happen: frozen windshields, blocked air vents and pitot tubes, fuel vents that become blocked may cause fuel starvation, ...
Fuselage
This is the main body of an aircraft, exclusive of its tail assembly, wings and engines. The term derives from a French word, fusele, meaning tapered, because the fuselage is the shape of a long cylinder with tapered ends.
fuselage - The part of the airplane to which the empennage and wings are attached. The fuselage is where the passengers and cargo are located. It is streamlined so that it produces the least possible drag.
Fuselage - The body of an airplane. That part to which the wing, tail, and landing gear attach, and which, in a single-engine airplane, usually carries the engine.
FUSELAGE The main body of the aircraft.
GENERAL AVIATION The 92% of U.S. aircraft and more than 65% of U.S. flight hours flown by other than major and regional airlines or the military.

Fuselage The body of an airplane.
Gain Gyro sensitivity. When too low, the tail will not hold position well. When too high, the surface being dampened by the gyro will tend to wag, or hunt for center.
Fuselage
The main body of an aircraft, cylindrical in shape. It contains the cockpit, main cabin and cargo compartments.
Fuselage. The main body of a landplane, float seaplane, or float amphibian, providing accommodation for the crew and useful load.

GLIDER - A heavier-than-air, fixed wing, unpowered aircraft for gliding or soaring flight.
FUSELAGE An aircraft's main body structure housing the flight crew, passengers, and cargo.

The rectangular cabin offers maximum usable space for occupants and cargo.
Pull the fuselage back as you tug on the propeller with your finger. Disconnect the two pieces by pulling them directly opposite from one another.
Being the fuselage independent of the lifting system dynamics permits the design to be strictly functional as related to the helicopter mission.
But correct fuselage geometry is not all that is needed. Pitch control must be able to effectively control the incidence even at the high angles associated with slow flying.
The Evolution's fuselage is four inches wider and taller than the Lancair IVP's cabin, a cylinder roughly 50 inches in diameter. Optimum build time on the Evolution is only 1,200 hours compared to a typical 3,500 to 4,000 hours for the IVP.
The angle of the fuselage to the direction of flight affects its drag, but has little
effect on the pitch trim unless both the projected area of the fuselage and its
angle to the direction of flight are quite large.
Airframe: The fuselage, booms, nacelles, cowlings, fairings, airfoil surfaces (including rotors but excluding propellers and rotating airfoils of engines), and landing gear of an aircraft and their accessories and controls.
The fuselage frame of the Super Cub is constructed of steel tubes welded together to form a rigid structure. A number of highly stressed members are of chromemolybdenum steel (4130). Other members are of 1025 Steel.
The tail of the machine should be the fuselage is nearly horizontal before starting alignment.
1. Alignment of Landing Gear.-When a is being assembled, it is easier to align the landing gear before the wings are put on.
In accordance with Newton's law of action and reaction, the helicopter fuselage tends to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotor blades. This effect is called torque. Torque must be counteracted and or controlled before flight is possible.
Canard - An airplane designed to have its normal horizontal tail surface on the front rather than the rear of its fuselage.
Caster - To swivel or rotate slightly.
A slip tends to cause a rolling moment, for several reasons, including: dihedral produces slip-roll coupling; the fuselage shadowing one wing (especially on a high-wing airplane) produces slip-roll coupling; swept wings produce slip-roll coupling, ...
In 1799, Cayley designed a configuration that was basically in the form of a modern airplane with a fuselage and wings. Etched on a silver disk this design bears a close relationship to the modern flying machines of more than a century later.
It had a Warren girder-type fuselage of high-tensile steel tubes, over which sat frames and longerons that carried the doped linen fabric covering.
(His organization also offers a 127-page booklet, How to Buy a Cessna 150-152.) While many sources will tell you that the rear OmniVision window with its new aft fuselage was introduced in 1964, ...
The small wings at the rear of an aircraft's fuselage that balance the lift forces generated by the main wings farther forward on the fuselage. The stabilizer also usually contains the elevator.

The plane had low cantilever wings, covered fuselage, a rudder, and a large, all-moving tailplane. The enclosed Antoinette engine drove a four-blade metal propeller.
A horizontal aerofoil mounted on the nose or forward fuselage of an aeroplane to improve take-off and low-speed handling. It can be fixed or retractable, non-moving or adjustable, and can have slats, flaps or elevators.

If an aircraft has been at a high altitude, where cold temperature prevails, for a period of time, the aircrafts’ major structural components such as the wing, tail and fuselage will assume the lower temperature, ...
It includes the form drag and skin friction associated with the fuselage, cockpit, engine cowlings, rotor hub, landing gear, and tail boom to mention a few. Parasite drag increases with airspeed.
Sea Plane - A water-based aircraft (also known as a flying boat) has a fuselage that is actually a hull for landing on water rather than the pontoons of a floatplane.
