fuselage
\fu"se*lage\ n. [F. fusel spindle-shaped + -age; fr. L.
fusus spindle.] (A["e]ronautics)
The central, approximately cylindrical portion of an airplane
which carries the passengers, crew, and cargo. It usually
forms the main structural portion of an airplane, and to it
are typically attached the wings, tail, and sometimes the
engines. In single-propeller airplanes, the propeller is
typically fixed at the front of the fuselage, although
variants have been produced with the propeller at the rear.
Some airplanes have no fuselage, properly so called.
Syn: body.
