Regarding aircraft structures, it explains the principles and construction of aircraft engines, fuselage, wings, tail assembly, landing gear, and onboard equipment. Additionally, it discusses the development of microaircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and basic knowledge of airport facilities. The book aims to balance popular science content with a certain level of theoretical depth. It can serve as a textbook for lower-level undergraduate students in aviation-related fields at universities and also be referenced by professionals in aviation research institutions and enterprises.
