Can one sue for public noise from the aircraft landing and take off?

Any private citizen can sue any other private citizen, company or commercial interest for anything he or she wishes to sue for. Whether or not the court throws out the lawsuit is another matter. If the court finds that an airline or perhaps an airport management company, or maybe the city that allowed the airport to be built, acted negligently or recklessly the civil suit might work. However, someone filing such a lawsuit would most likely have to show some kind of harm done to himself/herself, either physically or economically, as a result of negligent action on the part of the party being sued. Plaintiff lawyers sometimes will take such cases on contingency, but only if they believe the case is actually win-able.

Which one is higher landing speed or take off speed of an aircraft?
landing
What is the plane that can start with a vertical liftoff then switch to level flight called?
VSTOL = Vertical or Short Take Off and Landing aircraft. Whereas a STOL aircraft is a Short Take Off and Landing Aircraft. Maybe there is a term VTOL just for Vertical Take Off and Landing.
Does a plane sound louder taking off or landing?
A plane sounds much louder landing than on take-off. A single engine land plane revs up the engine to maximum power for take-off and climb-out. Maximum power equates with maximum noise. While landing, the same aircraft typically has the engine idling. Idling equates with minimum noise.
How can a harrier aircraft take off vertically?
VSTOL: verticle or short take of and landing
How far from an airport should aircraft wheels be down?
The wheels along with the system is called Landing Gear. The Landing Gear can be retracted soon after take-off. Stationary landing gears slow the aircraft down.
Explain aircraft landing gear systems?
It is the system of wheels that opens before an airplane lands and closes after take off. The system also supports the aircraft while on the ground, taxiing or landing.
What aircraft can hover?
Probably any helicopter or VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTOL
What is a roller landing of the aircraft?
There is no term as a roller landing, however there is a term "roller" being replaced by "touch and go". This is where an aircraft comes into land but instead of stopping on the runway, it takes off again. This simulates a landing and a take off all in one maneuver.
What is speed of airplane at take off and landing?
It can be anywhere between 80 and 140 knots depending on aircraft
What is landing gear for a plane?
The landing gear of an aircraft are the fixtures on which the aircraft taxi's, take's off and lands and can be in the form of wheels, or pontoons (on float planes for water take-off and landing).The undercarriage of an aircraft can also be fixed or retractable. Large commercial aircraft such as a Boeing 747 for example will have retractable undercarriage, creating a far more aerodynamic airflow over the fuselage. On a much smaller scale, some aircraft such as Cessna 172's have been manufactured in both fixed and retractable gear "RG" models. Generally the very light aircraft will have fixed landing gear.AnswerThe primary role of the landing gear is to absorb the shock of landing the airplane as it comes in contact with the ground. It is designed as a shock attenuation device. It absorbs the shock and slows the vertical drop of the airplane.
What is the maximum tempo or rate of landings and take offs on an aircraft carrier?
The maximum rate of take offs and landings (tempo) on an aircraft carrier is 2 takeoffs and one landing every 37 seconds during the daylight and one takeoff and landing every minute during nighttime.
How long does it take an airplane to get off the ground?
Depends on the aircraft, and the velocity of the air over the wings that produces enough lift to get the aircraft into the air. For aircraft that are STOL capable (Short Take Off and Landing) this time will be short, but ultimately it depends on the wind conditions, and the thrust of the aircraft. VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft can take off instantaneously. There are too many variables to give a short answer, as stated above, but as an example, a fully loaded modern day commercial airliner like the Boeing 767-400 might have a take-off run of 9000' to 9500' before the main landing gear actually lifted off the ground.
