Figure 2: Wing dihedral, the upward angle of the wings, illustrated (thanks to Wikimedia Commons user Steelpillow for the image) the aircraft, as seen in Figure 3. Figure 3: Variable wing incidence illustrated on a high-wing plane (thanks to Wikimedia Commons user Steelpillow for the image) Livery – a certain paint scheme for an aircraft. Different liveries can be selected in X-Plane to give an aircraft a different paint job. Pylon – a hard point on an aircraft, where things like engines or weapons can be mounted. Reference point – the arbitrary point of the aircraft around which nearly all objects’ positions are set. Root (of a wing) – the part of an aircraft’s wing which is closest to the fuselage (body) of the aircraft. Rudder – control surfaces mounted on an aircraft’s vertical stabilizer (a part of the tail) which move in opposite directions to change the yaw of the craft. Slat – control surfaces mounted to the leading edge of a wing which extend to allow the aircraft to operate at a higher angle of attack, useful when near stall speeds. Speedbrake – a type of flight control surface used on an aircraft to increase drag or increase the angle of approach during landing. Standard atmosphere – the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) defines the standard atmosphere at mean sea level to be 15C (59C) with 1 atmosphere air pressure. Sweep (wings) – the angle forward or backward that the wing points, when seen from above, as seen in Figure 5. Tip (of a wing) – the part of an aircraft’s wing which is farthest from the fuselage (body) of the aircraft. 97
