Since the advent of powered flight aircraft designers and manufacturers have made use of available technology, striving to build aircraft that are faster and can carry a greater load a greater distance than their previous design and their rivals. Competition to produce the best machine has fuelled research and development; the dramatic leaps in aviation technology were made in the First, Second and Cold Wars of the twentieth century.

The fuselage forms the main body of the aircraft to which the wings, tail plane, canards, vertical fin and in the case of a single engine aircraft the engine is attached. In some aircraft designs the landing gear is also directly attached to the fuselage structure.
