yes new planes of today have systems that tell if there is another plane in the air called a transponder which allows air port towers track planes and military have a system that warns of other planes that are not american.
the older planes like in World War 1 you need a rear machinegunner or good eye sight.

What is a site where you can see your house that starts with the letter a?
You can see your house from the air. You could be in an airplane or a hot air balloon.
What are some websites that are dedicated to airplane pictures?
There are many websites that an individual can browse to see airplane pictures. Airliners, Airplane Pictures and Air Team Images are just a few websites that allow for this.
Do you see the world as sphere when you are in an airplane?
yes......................because the world is a sphere and if you high up in da air you are going to see a spere........(and alot of h2o)
Can an airplane take off while on a conveyor belt?
yes it can. they did it on mythbusters. See related link for more information.
What is the difference between a glider and an airplane?
See What are gliders on the airplane? answer.
Do rainbows have an end?
No. A rainbow is really a circle. You can only see part of it when you're on land, but if you happen to see one below you while you're in an airplane, you can often see the full circle.
What does an airplane have when it flies but is of no use to the airplane?
The running lights are more for other pilots to see you than for you to see anything. They do not help the airplane fly any better.
Where can you see an airplane?
You can see them at many airports and in the sky.
When you look out the window you see it but when you see it you can't look out the window What is it?
frost FAMILY FEUD: What might you see out your airplane window? Sky/Cloud Birds Body of water Land Wings Another plane
Name a force that you could not see?
It would be air because its in motion but you can not see it .another would be wind it pushes the air and every thing around.
What principal state how airplanes stay atfloat?
Most books and science resources say it's because of Bernoulli's principle. That is incorrect. The correct answer is Newton's 3rd law of motion, with help from the Coanda effect. The Coanda effect is most easily explained by running some water onto the back of a spoon. If you try that, you will see that the water does not simply run off the spoon in its original path, but will follow the way the spoon curves. An airplane wing is just like the back of a spoon. As the wing moves through the air, the air above the wing has to travel along a curved path, going up, across, and down while moving back. As the air leaves the wing, it is moving downwards (partially). Since the air was initially just moving across the wing, a downwards force is exerted on the air by the wing. Newton's 3rd law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For the wing, this means that the air is also pushing the wing up. Since the wing is attached to the airplane, the airplane is pushed up. You should notice that if the airplane is not travelling fast enough, then it will not fly. This is because even of the air is moving downwards, there is not enough of it to overcome the airplane's weight. Once enough air, larger than the equivalent of the airplane's weight, is pushed down, then the airplane can fly.
What are jet contrails?
Jet contrails are water condensation resulting from the rapid compression and decompression of the air around the wing as the airplane moves through the atmosphere. The atmospheric conditions have to be just right for contrails to occur, and that is why you sometimes see contrails seem to wink off and on, as the airplane passes through drier air the contrails will stop.
