To experience sense of speed the brain needs some kind of point of reference. As an airplane passenger your only point of reference is the view out of the window. As the plane takes off and climbs obviously the ground is further and further away so when you look out of the window there are no objects close enough to provide any reference for the brain to sense how fast you are going.

What advantage do flaps and stats give an airplane?
Flaps and stats increase lift for takeoff and slow you down, for landing.
Do you use flaps to land an airplane?
Yes, Flaps are both used to create lift (on takeoff) and to slow the aircraft (on Landing)
How does an airplane slow down?
* An airplane with jets slow down by flaps that fold in to reverse the airpane(go on youtube.com and write" how a jet engine slows down" for more information) * An airplane with propellers just spins the other way!
What are the slats on an airplane wing?
to slow it down quicker
Why do airplanes appear to slow down after takeoff?
After takeoff, airplanes continue to gain altitude while reducing engine power to reduce noise and fuel consumption. This reduction in engine power may give the sensation of slowing down, even though the plane is actually climbing and increasing its speed. Additionally, as the plane ascends, it moves further away from the observer on the ground, which can create the illusion of decreased speed.
Why don't tires on an airplane blow out when the airplane lands?
This is because when the plane comes down, it's gentle and slow. Think of a toy airplane. If it has wheels and slowly comes down, it won't bust if it doesn't go roughly, right (I hope)?
Do airplanes have any friction?
Airplanes experience friction during takeoff and landing as their wheels touch the runway. Friction helps the airplane slow down or come to a stop. Additionally, air resistance (drag) acts as another form of friction, slowing the airplane's forward motion in flight.
What is main purpose of having flaps?
The main purpose of having flaps is to slow down the airplane without increasing pitch.
How might an aeroplane fly like a helicopter?
It flies Like an Airplane and Hovers Like a Helicopter... or if the engine has enough power to it, and the pilot brings it up to a 90 degree climb, lets it slow down, then adjusts the throttle to hover the plane...
What type of friction is a man falling out of an airplane in a parachute?
The man falling out of an airplane with a parachute is experiencing fluid friction, as the air molecules slow down the descent of the parachute due to air resistance.
Why does drag slow down a moving airplane?
Drag if friend and foe of aircraft. it is created by wing flaps or feathering of propeller blades.
What are the flaps on an airplane used for?
The flaps on an airplane are there for two reasons: Drag and lift. As an airplane lines up with the runway and descends, it must slow down. Several things are done to slow down, such as throttle the engines down and lower the gear. However is some airplanes, to slow down and remain slow they must extend the flaps. These cause extra drag, which slows the airplane down. They are usually extended in increments while on approach. The second reason is for lift. As an airplane get slower, the wings get less and less effective, and once it gets slow enough, it may stall. To prevent a stall, airplanes lower flaps. These redirect air downward, pushing the airplane up. This allows it to fly slower, past its "clean" stall speed. (Clean stall speed refers to an airplane's stall speed with no flaps or landing gear extended) Some airplanes can fly nearly 100 knots slower with full flaps. The stall speed with full flaps and landing gear extended is known as "dirty" or "landing configuration" stall speed. This is much slower than "clean" stall speed.
