Interesting Facts About Airplanes

Empennage ( /ˌɑːmpɪˈnɑːʒ/ or /ˈɛmpɪnɪdʒ/) is an aviation term used to describe the tail section of an aircraft. The empennage is also known as the tail or tail assembly; all three terms may be used interchangeably.
The empennage gives stability to the aircraft and controls the flight dynamics of pitch and yaw.
• Flight deck
A cockpit or flight deck is the area, usually near the front of an aircraft, from which a pilot controls the aircraft. Most modern cockpits are enclosed, except on some small aircraft, and cockpits on large airliners are also physically separated from the cabin. From the cockpit an aircraft is controlled on the ground and in the air.
