In 1962 the world learned that had been spotted in Cuba.?

In 1962, the world learned that there was a build up of medium range missiles and missile bases in Cuba. U2 spy planes actually photographed the missiles and the bases.


If earth rotates then why not aircraft west to east stays at on place?

because planes are beast and they can do that


Can satellites and airplanes fly in the mesosphere?

No, there is too much atmospheric drag at these heights for a satellite to maintain an orbit, but it is too high for airplanes which have 'air breathing' engines. Some high altitude planes such as the SR-71 Blackbird and U2 can fly up to 25km, but not as high as 50km which is the lower boundary for the Mesosphere. Some experimental rocket planes such as the X-15 have been able reach these heights.


Why do most planes today have only one wing on each side?

Because we have stronger motors today.


What is the different types of natural satellite?

There is different types of artificial satellites, each for different uses. For example : Weather satellites help meteorologists predict the weather or see what's happening at the moment. Typical weather satellites include the TIROS, COSMOS and GOES satellites. The satellites generally contain cameras that can return photos of Earth's weather, either from fixed geostationary positions or from polar orbits. Communications satellites allow telephone and data conversations to be relayed through the satellite. Typical communications satellitesinclude Telstar and Intelsat. The most important feature of a communications satellite is the transponder - a radio thatreceives a conversation at one frequency and then amplifies it and retransmits it back to Earth on anotherfrequency. A satellite normally contains hundreds or thousands of transponders. Communications satellites are usually geosynchronous. Broadcast satellites broadcast television signals from one point to another. • Scientific satellites perform a variety ofscientific missions. The Hubble Space Telescope is themost famous scientific satellite, but there are many others looking at everything from sun spots to gammarays. ( See the article of the telescopes) -> Hiten scientific satellite • Navigational satellites help ships and planes navigate. The most famous are the GPS NAVSTAR satellites, r escue satellites respond to radio distress signals. -> NAVSTAR satellite • Earth observation satellites observe the planet for changes in everything from temperature toforestation to ice-sheet coverage. -> ENVISAT • Military satellites are up there, but much of the actual application information remains secret. Intelligence-gathering possibilities using high-tech electronic and sophisticated photographic-equipment reconnaissance are endless. Applications may include relaying encrypted communication, nuclear monitoring, observing enemy movements, early warning of missile launches, eavesdropping on terrestrial radio links, radar imaging, photography (using what are essentially large telescopes (see the article on the telescopes ) that take pictures of militarily interesting areas)

Can missiles shoot down planes if having trouble detecting?

No. Missiles gotta be able to detect planes in the radar in order get a lock on because missiles need to get a lock on to shoot down planes but planes fly in really high altitudes, this makes it even more difficult to detect planes on radar.


What planes and missiles did Adolf Hitler use?

A missile Hitler issued was the V-1 and V-2 missiles which was there strongest missiles but failed because they were hard to control, did not have good accuracy and had not much fuel.

Yes but not really easy.


Can satellites detect stealth planes?

Yes satellites have the ability to detect stealth planes. Stealth technology was likely invented in Germany during World War II.


How are missiles launched from fighter planes?

All current missiles are electrically triggered in a sequence to 'spool up' as they release from the aircraft.


Where does the f22 raptor store its armament?

In an internal weapons bay, stored in the aircraft. It opens to fire the missiles, it does this because if it had the missiles on the wings, it is likely that these would reflect radar beams back to the enemy planes, therefore compromising stealth

How did the US discover the missiles?

If you are asking about the missiles in Cuba they were discovered by the use of spy planes and people on the ground. A spy plane flew over and shot pictures of the silos for the missiles. The people on the ground confirmed that they were there. Kennedy told Russia that they had to remove the missiles and the result was the Cuban Missile Crisis.


What was the second generation of fighter plane?

The second generation of fighter planes were jet fighters with no missiles or complicated avionics.


Can missiles take down an aircraft?
