AIRFOIL

Airfoil

• An aircraft wing has a special shape called an airfoil

• As a wing moves through the air , the air is split and passes
above and below the wing make a effect of lift
• Due to the effect that occurred on that airfoil the aircraft
can able to fly

JET ENGINE

• Jet engine is one of the important part of all the aircrafts

• These produces enough thrust to move the aircraft
forwards
• Each aircraft has two jet engines behind each wing
• Each jet engine has able to produce a force of 2700 N
