What was the plane called that crashed in Munich 1958?
Airspeed AS.57 Ambassador.
What is the name of the device detect the speed of an aeroplane?
It is called Pitot Tube. It measures fluid flow velocity. The results are displayed on the Airspeed Indicator.The pitot tubes detect the speed of the plane.
What raises and lowers a plane during flight?
It depends on your airspeed. At normal cruise airspeed, an increase or decrease of engine thrust causes an aircraft to ascend or descend. At approach airspeed, a slower airspeed with flaps lowered, raising or lowering the elevators causes the aircraft to ascend or descend.
What uses Bernoullis principle?
Pitot tube on a plane to measure airspeed.
The main purposes of an airspeed indicator in an aircraft?
The primary purpose of an airspeed indicator in an aircraft is to give the pilot some sense of how fast the aircraft is moving. A pitot tube, which is a forward pointing hollow tube that is mounted on the plane, is pressurized by the force of the air the plane encounters as it flies. This air pressure is compared to a static reference, and the difference is proportional to the airspeed. The faster the plane moves, the higher the pressure in the pitot tube, and the greater the difference between that and the reference. All that will result in higher indicated air speed. There are some issues associated with the accuracy of the system (like when the plane is flying into a headwind), and information on that and more detail in general can be found by using the link to Wikipedia. The pictures are informative, and a reader can pick up a handful of specialized terms relating to the device and the principles upon which it operates. Answer The airspeed indicator provides the pilot with an indication of relative airspeed -- or how fast the aircraft is moving relative to the air in which it is flying. This is important to a pilot because it is relative airspeed that affects the performance of the airplane. If airspeed gets too low, the plane will stall; if airspeed gets too high, the plane will suffer structural damage/failure. By monitoring airspeed, and making necessary control adjustments, a pilot ensures that the airplane performs as designed. Fortunately, aircraft are designed -- and pilots are trained -- such that these extreme cases are routinely avoidable.
What is the lowest maintainable airspeed?
it's the slowest you can fly without dropping out of the sky. It's different from plane to plane, altitude, amount of load etc.
A plane headed due E is traveling at airspeed of 190 mph The winds are moving with constant speed in the direction 240 degrees If the ground speed of the plane is 95mph what is the speed of the winds?
To find the speed of the winds, we can use the concept of vector components. The ground speed of the plane (95 mph) is the result of the vector sum of the airspeed of the plane (190 mph) and the speed of the winds (w mph). We can find the horizontal component of the airspeed by multiplying 190 mph by the cosine of the angle between the airspeed and the ground direction (240 - 90 = 150 degrees). Thus, the speed of the winds is 70 mph.
How does a plane descend to the right?
pull the power to lower airspeed and add right rudder; continue to trim aircraft
How long does it take to fly 409 miles?
Distance in miles divided by airspeed in miles per hour will give the answer. Without some indication of what your airspeed is, this is impossible to solve.
What is the ratio of their volumes of 4ft and 8ft rectangle?
Rectangles are plane shapes and cannot have volumes.Rectangles are plane shapes and cannot have volumes.Rectangles are plane shapes and cannot have volumes.Rectangles are plane shapes and cannot have volumes.
Is an airplane taking off down a straight runway an example of accelerated motion?
Yes, as the plane must accelerate from a stop to its takeoff airspeed.
Why do planes take off into the wind?
An aircraft's ability to fly depends upon the speed of the air passing its wings, called its airspeed. Assume that the airplane needs an airspeed of 100 mph to take off. With a 15 mph headwind, the plane only needs to travel 85 mph on the runway to get 100 mph airspeed. With a 15 mph tailwind, the plane needs to travel 115 mph to get 100 mph airspeed. So taking off into the wind lets the plane become airborne at a lower runway speed.to get the lift that they needIt increases the airspeed while keeping the ground speed low. The airplane needs less runway length to take off and land when going against the wind.In order for the plane to generate lift, air need to pass over and under the wing. Planes can do this simply by moving forward but, when wind is present, it is best to take off into the wind because this will aid the lift of the aircraft.because it means they have more air running under the wings per second, almost as if the plane were travelling faster than it actually was. With more air under the wings and passing through the props/jets the craft can take off more quickly
