The engines provide forward thrust, allowing the wings to generate lift. It is the lift that allows the aircraft to take off.
Flying hours are the number of hours that an aircraft has flown (usually from engine start to engine stop). One flight cycle is one flight from take-off to landing.
Yes, using the correct software.
The company that makes it says you can.
The flight from Humberside Airport to Schipol (Amsterdam) is a very quick route, KLM use 3 different Aircraft depending on the number of passengers, weather conditions and Aircraft Servicability, it can take from 25 mins to 1 hour
VSTOL = Vertical or Short Take Off and Landing aircraft. Whereas a STOL aircraft is a Short Take Off and Landing Aircraft. Maybe there is a term VTOL just for Vertical Take Off and Landing.
No. There is no direct commercial flight from New Jersey to Long Beach airport. You will have to take a private aircraft.
The over-water part of such a flight cannot be made by helicopter due to the range limits (You would run out of fuel over the ocean). The only exception would be a very few military aircraft that can do an in-flight refuel.
An aircraft hijack is when a person, or group of people, forcibly take control of an aircraft while it is in flight. Hijacking can result in the aircraft being crashed into a building, such as in the September 11 attacks, the hijackers making demands using the passengers as hostages or the aircraft could be being used to travel to a certain place.
The simple answer is to learn to fly, to learn airmanship skills. If you want to learn how to fly an aircraft then you will want to take some flight training courses.
When Aircraft is preparing to Taxi or Take off and has system problem that requires maintenance interaction.
There is no single figure for Boeing 757-200 take off and landing speeds. Aircraft's take off and landing speeds depend on its performance and always depend on many flight conditions like: flight weight, flaps setting, air temperature, etc. These speends are usually pre-calculated by aircraft manufacturer and presented on table charts.
The Wright brothers took off on December 17, 1903. They left from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
