Airplanes are vehicles that fly through the sky. Can you see the different parts in the drawing?

The body of the plane is called a fuselage, and wings extend from it. The rectangle on the side is the plane's door, and the darkened squares are windows. The tail has small wings called stabilizers.

There are also cylinder-shaped jet engines on the wings. Other aircraft use similar engines - check out this fighter jet drawing for an example.
