1 steering wheel: The 'steering wheel' is the circular, disk-like device used by the driver to direct the vehicle. The term is composed of two interesting terms: the adjective 'steering', which comes from the verb 'to steer', which means to control the direction of something and 'wheel', any circular or disk-like object, often on an axis so that rotation is possible.
2 brake: A 'brake', (or 'the brakes') is a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle, usually by means of friction. Most good cars have 'brakes', accessible by depressing a pedal, as well an 'emergency brake' (or 'hand brake') located adjacent to the drivers seat. Did you know? 'Hit the brakes' is a common expression meaning 'slow down'!
3 clutch: In an automotive context, the term 'clutch' has two related meanings. It refers to the pedal which is depressed in order to engage and disengage the 'stick shift' while changing gears, as well as to the mechanism which changes gears itself. 'Clutches' are only present in cars with manual transmissions. Note that the term 'clutch' is generally preceded by the definite article 'the'.
4 gears: In an automobile transmission, a 'gear' is a mechanism which permits the driver to 'switch' or 'alternate' between different relations of torque and speed for the vehicle. The gears of a car also permit the driver to increase or decrease speed progressively, as well as reverse directions. The verb most commonly associated with 'gears' is 'to shift'. Did you know? 'Let's switch gears' is a common expression meaning 'let's change the topic of discussion', or 'let's do something completely different'.
5 windshield: The 'windshield' (US) or 'windscreen' (UK) is a protective piece of glass or plastic which protects the car's driver and passengers from the elements. Did you know? There are no common expressions which use the 'windshield', although this is place that 'windshield wipers' are found, rubber blades which remove water and dirt from the glass.
6 tire: A 'tire' (US) or 'tyre' (UK) is the rubber ring or band which surrounds the 'rim' of a 'wheel'. It is this rubber which comes in contact with the ground when a car is driven. When a 'tire' is punctured it must be replaced: this is called a 'flat tire'. Did you know? 'To burn rubber', an expression which means 'to go very fast', originates in the smell and sound of tires when a car accelerates very quickly, and the rubber of the tires 'burns'.
7 horn: The 'horn' of a car is the device used for emitting a noise to alert motorists of your presence, (very rarely called a 'klaxon'). 'A horn' has several other meanings; notably it is a brass instrument sometimes called the 'French Horn', or a general term for the brass section of a band, as well as the term for the projecting skin on the head of many animals such as goats and cows (and the devil). Did you know: 'To toot (or blow) your own horn' is an expression which means to 'boast', 'brag' or to talk highly of yourself or accomplishments.

Flying tips!

If you fly too slowly, the aircraft may stall 1. If this happens, increase throttle 2 to regain airspeed.

Before you land on the runway 3, make sure you lower your landing gear 4.
1 stall: "To stall", in aeronautical terms, is to fly so slowly that the plane no longer generates "lift" or upward force. As a result, the plane starts to lose altitude. "To stall" can be used in other contexts: "to stall a car" is to accidentally stop a car's engine. Example: I STALLED the car before the traffic lights; you can also "stall someone", which means to purposefully delay someone. Example: I managed to STALL my father for a few minutes while my brother hid the broken vase.
1 throttle: "Throttle" is not something that an aircraft "does", it is the valve that regulates speed.
1 runway: "Runway" is not something that an aircraft "does", it is the long stretch of surface that aircraft use to land and take off.
1 gear: "Gear" is not something that an aircraft "does", the "landing gear" is the wheels that are lowered to allow an aircraft to land safely.
2 throttle: The "throttle" is the valve that regulates how much fuel is burnt in an internal combustion engine, controlling the speed of the aircraft. It is similar to "the gas" or accelerator pedal in a car. "To increase throttle" is to accelerate or increase speed.
2 stall: "Stall" is not something that can be increased, "to stall" is to fly too slowly and lose altitude.
2 runway: "runway" is not something that can be increased to regain speed - a "runway" is the long stretch of surface that aircraft use to land and take off.
2 gear: "Gear" is not something that can be increased to regain speed - the "landing gear" means the wheels that are lowered to allow an aircraft to land safely. However, the term "gear" does have a different meaning: "gears" describe the mechanism which allows a vehicle to change between different speeds (first gear, reverse gear etc). In this context, one might "change or switch (not increase) gear" to regain speed.
3 runway: The runway is the long length of flat, tarmacked surface that airplanes use to accelerate before take off and decelerate after landing.
3 throttle: It is impossible "to land on a throttle" - "throttle" is the valve that regulates speed.
3 stall: It is impossible "to land on a stall" - "to stall" is to fly too slowly and lose altitude.
3 gear: It is impossible "to land on a gear" - - the "landing gear" is the wheels that are lowered to allow an aircraft to land safely.
4 gear: This is correct. The "landing gear" is the unit(s) positioned on the underside of the aircraft that holds the wheels. The landing gear is withdrawn after take off and lowered before landing.
4 throttle: We can't "lower landing throttle" - "throttle" is the valve that regulates speed.
4 runway: We can't "lower landing runaway" - a "runway" is the long stretch of surface that aircraft use to land and take off.
4 stall: We can't "lower landing stall" - "to stall" is to fly too slowly and lose altitude.
