What is the difference between lean burn and rich burn with regards to gas turbines?
Lean Burn = higher air-fuel ratio, Less power, more economical Rich Burn = lower air-fuel ratio, More power, less economical
Why do jet planes have streamlined shapes?
All aircraft, not just jets, have shapes as streamlined as possible to enable them to fly faster and use less fuel.
Why are cabins of jet planes pressurized?
Pressurization is for the comfort of crew and passengers. The planes fly higher to save on fuel. The less dense air higher up causes less drag. It is also unfortunately harder to breathe. Pressuriziation makes it easier to breathe without special equipment, like breathing apparatus or oxygen.
You need a good explanation for this question What burns faster paper wood or cardboard?
Paper burns faster as there is less mass to burn and less energy in paper, If it were wood, due to the mass of the wood it would burn Longer and brighter and less lengthened and less brighter for Cardboard.
How does nitromethane work?
Nitromethane works well. i ain't no chemists so I'll explain simply.. gasoline needs allmost 15 lbs. of air to burn 1 lb. of gas .. a nitromethane engine will need less than 2 lbs. of air to burn 1 lb. of methane , so you can put a little more than 7 times more fuel into the cylinder -- more fuel in cylinder =s more power..

Why do jets fly faster the higher they fly?
Because the higher the altitude, the thinner the air, so the less work is needed by the engines. Sometimes there is also strong tailwinds which will speed it up. Also, this burns less fuel.
Why do jets fly at the altitude they do?
It is because the higher up the plane is, the lower the air pressure. When the air pressure is lower, there are less air molecules, resulting in less friction. Therefore it uses less fuel.
What is better a lower or higher miles per gallon?
Higher is better.. Less fuel to spend and more fuel effeciency gets u further on less.
How does the size affect the flight of a rocket?
A small rocket might go higher because a smaller rocket has less weight
How high can a plane that is flying to America go?
it depends, pilots fly airplanes at different altitudes depending on the weather systems around the area at the time. Most large aircraft or jumbo jets want to fly at altitudes exceeding 25,000 feet because at higher altitudes jumbo jets burn less fuel to go the same distance that it would take if it were flying at a lower altitude. I would estimate that passenger planes fly somewhere between 30,000 feet and 40,000 feet. Jumbo jets can't fly much higher because the air will become so thin that they can't climb and more. And much lower will require more fuel because the air is more dense.
Why are cars being designed to use less fuel and burn fuel more cleanly?
Heyy I'm dum
Is Airplane Travel more economic at higher altitudes?
Generally yes. There is less drag at higher altitudes, and thus better fuel economy, right up until the airplane can't get enough air to burn with with fuel to get the power needed to go faster and higher. Of course it takes extra fuel to get up there, so only long distance travel is done at high altitudes.
Why is kerosene used for jet fuel?
Kerosene isn't. However, jet fuel, kerosene, and diesel fuel all are very similar. They're less refined than unleaded fuel, and that reduces the risk of on-board fires, for one. Additionally, they burn at a higher BTU rate than unleaded/petrol fuels.
Is turboprop airplane less safe than jet?
It usually depends on the make. Higher end props tend to be safer than jets because of all the problems that might occur on sophosticated aircraft, such as Jets.
How many miles per gallon do commercial jets get?
A 747 gets slightly less than 1 mile per gallon of jet fuel.
Why do jet planes have streamlined shapes?
All aircraft, not just jets, have shapes as streamlined as possible to enable them to fly faster and use less fuel.
