	Fixed-wing aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ailerons- Ailerons are movable surfaces on the wings of the aircraft.
		Aircraft played a primary role in the Second World War, having a presence in all the major battles of the war, especially in the attack on Pearl Harbor, the battles of the Pacific and D-Day, as well as the Battle of Britain.
		It may be a fixed horizontal stabilizer with a movable elevator or a stabilator that rotates on a shaft to change the angle of incidence.

	Tailplane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, not all fixed-wing aircraft have tailplanes, such as those configured with canards (where the "tail-plane" is located in front), flying-wing aircraft, where there is no tail, and v-tail aircraft where the rudder and tail-plane is combined to form two diagonal surfaces.
		A tailplane is a small lifting surface located behind the main lifting surfaces of a fixed-wing aircraft as well as other non-fixed wing aircraft such as helicopters and gyroplanes.
		This in turn causes a nose-up or nose-down pitching moment on the aircraft, which is used to control the aircraft in pitch.

	Fixed Wing Aircraft
		Fixed wing aircraft (ie aircraft, gliders, ultra lights) flying may be adversely affected by changing natural conditions or adverse weather conditions such as wind, temperature and time of day.
		If an aircraft is being filmed with the engine running, adequate safety precautions shall be taken in connection with activity in front of the propeller, which includes designated ground personnel.
		In that case, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 150 metres (500 feet) to any person, vessel, vehicle or structure.

	Army Fixed wing aircraft; multi tasked and useful
		PT6 Aircraft was an eight seater, high wing monoplane of all metal construction with a conventional (tail wheel) undercarriage.
		The Pilatus PC-6/B1-H2 Turbo Porter was selected to fulfil the fixed wing role in the Army with an order for six on May 16 1967, followed by a further six in August.
		Maj Constable died in the aircraft and the aircraft was destroyed.

	Aircraft
		In the case of aerodynamic lift, the aircraft is kept in the air because of aerodynamics, usually by means of wings of some kind.
		The first widespread use of military aircraft was for reconnaissance and surveillance in World War I. Soon they were adapted for attacking the ground or enemy vehicles/ships/guns/aircraft as well, and the first bombers were born.
		Examples of lighter-than-air aircraft include non-steerable balloons, such as hot air balloons and gas balloons[?], and airships (sometimes called dirigible balloons), such as blimps (which have a non-rigid construction) and rigid airships, which have a rigid frame.

	FHP: Fixed Wing Aircraft
		The aircraft are used in a wide variety of missions and piloted by a Flight Sergeant who is assigned permanently to the aircraft and to an FHP field troop.
		The current flight section fleet of aircraft includes Cessna 172 and 182 aircraft assigned to each of the Patrol’s ten field troops, one aircraft used as a spare, and one Piper Panther Navajo Aircraft based in Tallahassee, Florida’s State Capitol.
		A location for an aircraft traffic enforcement assignment is set up by utilizing ground troopers at a location selected and prepared by the pilot or observer.

	Aerial Cinematography: Fixed-wing Aircraft
		This primarily involves, but is not limited to, air-to-air filming of other fixed-wing aircraft such as commercial aviation jet airliners or military fighter aircraft.
		Although obvious, it's worth mentioning that fixed-wing aircraft don't enjoy the same landing and take-off flexibility that their rotorcraft counterparts do.
		This type of work is highly specialized and the aircraft together with its image gathering system, most notably Vectorvision™ or Astrovision™, can be thought of as a dedicated aerial cinematographic system.

	United States Aircraft in Vietnam
		Whilst the single most overwhelming image of the Vietnam War remains that of the helicopter, there can be little doubt concerning the massive contribution made by fixed-wing aircraft of the US Army, USMC and USAF.
		The aerial battlefield of South Vietnam was so completely dominated by the United States that they had total and uncontested air supremacy - there is no record of air interdiction of communist aircraft in the skies over South Vietnam.
