5. REVISION
READING MATERIAL
What is an aircraft?
An aircraft is a vehicle that is designed for air travel and transport. A machine is
capable of flight through the Earth's atmosphere. There are various types of aircraft, each
designed for specific purposes and functions. The two main categories of aircraft are:
1. Fixed-Wing Aircraft:
Airplanes: Fixed-wing aircraft with wings that generate lift through the forward
motion of the aircraft. Airplanes include commercial airliners, private planes, cargo planes,
and military aircraft.
Gliders: Unpowered fixed-wing aircraft that use natural air currents and gravity
for flight.
2. Rotary-Wing Aircraft:
Helicopters: Aircraft with one or more rotary wings (rotors) that provide lift and
allow for vertical takeoff and landing. Helicopters are capable of hovering, making them
versatile for various applications, including transport, medical evacuation, and military
operations.
Aircraft are further classified based on their specific design, size, and purpose. Some
common types of aircraft include:
Military Aircraft: Designed for defense purposes, including fighters, bombers, transport
planes, and reconnaissance aircraft. Examples include the F-16 Fighting Falcon, B-2 Spirit
bomber, and C-130 Hercules transport aircraft.
General Aviation Aircraft: Small, private aircraft used for personal or business travel. This
category includes small planes, business jets, and recreational aircraft.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs or Drones): Aircraft operated without a human pilot on
board, often used for various purposes, including surveillance, photography, and research.

02. Passenger Compartment
03. Cargo Compartment
The primary goal of these operations is to deter potential hijackers, respond effectively to
in-flight threats, and ultimately ensure the secure transport of passengers and cargo. As aviation
security continues to adapt to emerging threats, ongoing advancements in technology and
collaboration between industry stakeholders play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and
safety of air travel.
1. Preventive Measures:
Security Screening - Robust security screening processes are in place at airports to
identify and prevent individuals from carrying prohibited items or weapons onto an aircraft.
Cabin Crew Training - Crew members are trained to recognize and respond to
suspicious behavior and potential security threats.
2. Cockpit Security:
Reinforced Cockpit Doors - After the September 11, 2001 attacks, cockpit doors on
commercial aircraft were reinforced to prevent unauthorized access.
Access Control - Strict access control measures are implemented to restrict entry to the
cockpit to authorized personnel only.
Aircraft are equipped with communication systems that allow for real-time updates and
coordination in the event of an emergency.
Special law enforcement units may be deployed to handle hijackings, with an emphasis
on resolving the situation with minimal harm.
9. International Cooperation:
Countries often collaborate on anti-hijack measures, sharing intelligence and coordinating
efforts to enhance global aviation security.
