Design is the process of taking the various principles discussed throughout the other sections of this site and synthesizing them into a single vehicle that can accomplish a given task. The questions included here discuss how engineers apply their knowledge to design aircraft and their components.

Can you please explain the different parts of an aircraft, such as the wing, horizontal tail, vertical tail, and fuselage?

What is the technical difference between an airplane and an aircraft?

I've seen antenna-like protrusions along the length of the wing trailing edge on Airbus airliners. What are these devices and what do they do?

Most people seem to be infatuated with the biggest or the fastest. I have the opposite question. What is the smallest plane in the world?

What determines fuselage station zero on an aircraft? Often in aircraft design, the horizontal coordinate system will start some distance before the nose. Why isn't the Xo station at the nose?

How is the center of gravity of an airplane calculated?

I was wondering is there a safer way to design an airplane that is somewhat more crash resistant?

Why do aircraft have only three landing gear? Why not four?

Is it true that the US Air Force and US Navy use different methods for mid-air refueling? Why?

What's the name or model number of the new airliner that uses computer displays instead of windshields?

If an A3XX crashed, would more people die than if another kind of airplane crashed or not, because of the A3XX's great structure?
