Pro Tip 1/3Technical Term
Fuselage is used specifically in aviation and aerospace contexts.
The engineers performed safety checks on the aircraft's fuselage.
Pro Tip 2/3Not Always Cylindrical
Fuselages may vary in shape, not just the common cylindrical form, depending on the aircraft design.
The stealth bomber's fuselage has a flattened, broad shape.
Pro Tip 3/3Sectional Use
Fuselage can also refer to a part of the aircraft body, like the nose or tail section.
Damage was reported on the rear fuselage after a rough landing.

Why are airplanes slower...
What about ways to make a plane faster without burning lots of fuel? Adjusting the wing sweep, or the angle at which wings protrude from the fuselage, to bring the wings closer in can make an aircraft faster by reducing aerodynamic drag. But this means the wings must be longer to achieve the same wingspan,

So you end up, number three, not swimming, in the case of freestyle, on your stomach, as many people think, reaching on top of the water. But actually rotating from streamlined right to streamlined left, maintaining that fuselage position as long as possible.

As a child, during the war, I drew Spitfires and Messerschmitts. With Spot, I found that I had designed a fuselage! His spot is on his side, the roundel marking of an English fighter plane, and the color bar of his tail is the color stripes of a plane's rudder.

Fundamentally, we have broken our aerospace business into three parts - large parts which go into the wings and fuselage, components for jet engines, and specialised structural components for landing gear.
