My french may not be good, but it seems to me many aeronautical terms are french words. (and many english words are not english) |
Spark plug=Bougie ou bougie d'allumage
Glow plug= bougie à incandescence
sorry, empennage for the tail surfaces
empannage is a sailing term; "gybe" is what I found for translation but I could be wrong...
Aa lot of the lingo for navigation, marine and aeronautical do come from french. Actually, the two languages did so much exchanges both ways (maybe close half of the words) that we forget the origins.
