- Fixed-wing aircraft - A fixed-wing aircraft is a heavier-than-air craft where movement of the wings in relation to the aircraft is not used to generate lift. The term is used to distinguish from rotary-wing aircraft, or ornithopters, where the movement of the wing surfaces relative to the aircraft generates ...
- Wing root - The wing root is that part of the wing, on a fixed-wing aircraft, that is closest to the fuselage. On simple designs where the wing joins the fuselage in a high wing, mid-wing or low wing monoplane configuration this is usually easy to identify.
- Tailplane - A tailplane, also known as horizontal stabilizer, 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. 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 ...
- Wing fence - Wing fences, also known as boundary layer fences and potential fences are fixed aerodynamic devices attached to aircraft wings. Not to be confused with wingtip fences, wing fences are flat metal plates fixed to the upper surfaces (and often wrapping around the leading edge) parallel to the airflow.
- Canard Rotor/Wing - The Canard-Rotor-Wing (CRW) is a class of VTOL aircraft capable of both fixed-wing and rotary-wing flight. For vertical take-off, hovering, low-speed flight, and vertical landing, the main airfoil is spun like a helicopter's rotor by directing the exhaust from a jet engine through thrust nozzles in the wingtips.
