Can aircraft stop in flight?
No, an aircraft can travel at speeds of 500 MPH and faster, so to stop an aircraft would result in it having to land.
Why aircraft that travel at supersonic speeds cannot be heard on the ground?
The properties of air flow at supersonic speeds is different than for subsonic speeds. So the design of the shape of the airplane and the inlets for the engines have to be different in order for it to fly at supersonic speeds.
How many kilometers does an aeroplane travel in an hour?
Speeds vary depending of the type of aircraft. A jet aircraft will fly from 700-900 km/h (400-550 mph). <P> Since different aircraft fly at different speeds , this cannot be determined , unless you have parameters to work from. Asking "How many kilometers would an airplane traveling at 400 km. per hour , travel"?, this would give an answer , 400 km.
What kind of paint is used for aircraft painting?
The paint that is used when painting an aircraft is high adhesion fire resitant paint. This is due to the fact that the aircraft will travel at very fast speeds, and the paint needs to be certian that it will not peel while in the air.
What happens to a missile fired from a jet traveling at supersonic speeds?
It reaches it's target and detonates. -Almost all aircraft borne missiles travel at least 3,500 mph or more - far in excess of the aircraft sped.
Which of these characteristics of a missle differs from a rocket Missles are launched from aircraft missles travel at slower speeds missles have a guidance system or missles are larger.?
Missiles have a guidance systen
What kind of aircraft is needed for travel in the thermosphere?
aircraft needed to travel the stratosphere
What is the fastest unmanned aircraft?
the x-43 is the fastest unmanned aircraft reaching speeds up to 7,500 mph
How Flaps work on the aircraft?
flaps create lift when the aircraft has low speeds http://science.howstuffworks.com/airplane13.htm
What is the name of the fastest aircraft?
It is supposedly the SR-71 blackbird built by Lockheed Martin and was capable of speeds of mach 3.5 and over. Although its true top speed is classified, from the speeds we do know of, it is the fastest aircraft... that was manned. Unmanned aircraft are a different story.
What is the weather related hazard to aircraft that can accelerate forward and downward speeds causing an aircraft to crash on departure or landing?
Wind.
How long does it take a bullet to go half of a mile?
Bullets travel at differen speeds.Bullets travel at differen speeds.Bullets travel at differen speeds.Bullets travel at differen speeds.
