Combine each of the following sentences into one sentence using an infinitive

1. Airplanes are designed for particular purposes.They should move people and cargo from one place to another.

2. The wings generate most of the lift. This lift is aimed on holding the plane in the air.

3. Smaller, low-speed airplanes use propellers for the propulsion system. These propellers provide the proper work of the propulsion system.instead of turbine engines.

4. There are also turbine engines. They can be used in propulsion system as well.

5. The vertical stabilizer hasone main function. It keeps the nose of the plane from swinging from side to side.

6. The rudder is used in airplanes. It deflects the tail to the left and right.

7. Planes have flaps. They are deployed downward on takeoff and landing.

8. The spoilers are also used during landing. They slow the plane down and to counteract the flaps when the aircraft is on the ground.

9. There are a lot of different types of airplanes. You can tell about any of them.

10. There are a lot of different devices. They help the pilots to navigate the plane.
