Yes. Airplanes experience drag from the air when in flight and friction from the ground when they are taxiing. There is also friction between parts in the plane.

Why do airplanes need to be streamlined?

Airplanes are streamlined in order to reduce drag (coefficient of friction). This allows for less resistance, less fuel consumption, and greater speed.


How are friction notuseful?

Friction is not useful when ever we do not want it. Examples would be when two materials are rubbing against one another. The friction of ropes in pulleys eventually causes wear on both; friction of shoes or straps against the body causes blisters; friction airplanes travelling through the air - friction causes the plane to get hot; the moving parts of an engine get hot from friction...


How does Friction Help Us?

Friction helps us by letting us grasp things so they won't fall. Without friction you can expect to have more car accidents, and a lot of random people falling because friction helps us walk. Also airplanes in a way use friction to fly. no slaking in class

How do aircrafts or petrol tankers prevent the buildup of excessive static electicity?

Airplanes accumulate static electricity when its in the air (air friction). The friction then strips electrons from the atmosphere and causes them to build up on the airplane.

Yes there was.


Why are airplanes streamlined with rounded instead of square wings and bodies?

if they were square it would be like friction and the airplane wouldn't be able to move
