The major sections of an aircraft include the Wings, Fuselage, Engines. The wings are used to create lift, Fuselage is one of the main structural component of the aircraft. It is used to hold cargo, or passengers. The engines are used to create thrust which actually moves the aircraft in a specific direction. This is a basic description of what each component does. Each component is going to be described in detail as follows.
The primary purpose of wings is to create lift. It opposes the force of weight on the aircraft. Wings are shaped like airfoils They create a low pressure area over the wing which makes the air below the wing to "push" the wing up. There are different shapes airfoils could be shaped. One is Symmetrical, and the other is semi-symmetrical. The semi-symmetrical creates lift at a relatively low angle of attack compared to the symmetrical. The advantage of using the symmetrical is that you can fly the aircraft right side up and upside down. The wing would not notice any difference. This kind of airfoil shape is used frequently in Acrobatic flying for air shows etc...
