Spanish term or phrase: plano
This is a part of a commercial plane, and I can't figure out what it is. The other structures in the list are fuselaje/fuselage, tren de aterrizaje/landing gear, estabilizadores/stabilizers, plantas motrices/engines, etc. and here is the phrase in particular:

(during a crash, the following happened:) Desprendimiento y alta incineración de los planos izquierdo y derecho.


Thank you for your help.
