The body of the aircraft is known as which term?

• A. Hull
• B. Airframe
• C. Fuselage
• D. Body of Aircraft

Answer: (C)

The main body of an aircraft is called the fuselage. This term refers specifically to the central structure that houses the cockpit, passengers or cargo, and connects to the wings and tail. It’s the core shell of the aircraft’s shape and supports internal components, doors, and systems.

The other terms don’t fit as the single body. The airframe means the entire structural framework of the aircraft, including wings and tail along with the fuselage. Hull is a term more commonly used for ships and some airships, not for the fixed-wing aircraft body. “Body of Aircraft” isn’t the standard, official name used in aviation terminology. So fuselage is the precise, widely used term for the aircraft’s main body.
