Wings: The Source of Lift The wings are what make fixed-wing flight possible. Wings also include movable surfaces like ailerons (used to roll the plane left or right) and flaps (used to increase lift at lower speeds, especially during takeoff and landing). The engine is what provides the thrust needed to move the aircraft forward.

The cockpit, also called the flight deck, is where pilots use electronic flight instruments as part of a primary flight display. For example, if the right aileron rises and the left aileron goes down, the aircraft will change directions. The engine creates thrust by burning fuel.

An autopilot and Aspen primary flight display reduce workload on long flights. More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift.
