What is the main body section of an airplane that holds crew and passengers or cargo called?

Wing Fuselage Empennage Landing Gear

Correct Answer:

Fuselage

Explanation:

The fuselage is the central body of an airplane that holds the crew, passengers, and cargo. It forms the cabin where people sit, the cockpit where the pilots control the aircraft, and the cargo holds, and it’s built to be strong enough to carry the loads of wings and tail while withstanding pressurization in most airliners. The wings are separate structures that provide lift (and often carry fuel), the empennage is the tail assembly that stabilizes and controls the aircraft, and the landing gear supports the airplane on the ground. So, the main body section is the fuselage.
