Why are planes wings different shapes when looking from above?
Wings that are straight-edged are stable at low airspeeds. However, they produce a lot of drag and limit the airspeed. Wings that are swept back have less drag and are capable of greater speed, but they are unstable at low speed.
What are the different kinds of weights acts on the aircraft when the aircraft takeoff and landing?
The only weight that acts upon an aircraft is gravity. Other forces that act upon the aircraft during takeoff and landing are friction, lift, parasitic drag, aerodynamic drag and thrust. In order to overcome the weight of the aircraft caused by gravity, the aircraft wings must generate lift. It does this by speeding up using thrust from it's engines which causes the air to rush over it's wings and produce this lift. This speed also creates parasitic drag caused by the air resisting the huge body of the aircraft moving through it as well as dynamic drag caused by the creation of lift on top of the wings. Friction is mostly an issue when taking of and landing while the landing gear is still in contact with the runway and is greatly diminished once airborne.
What is the wing movement of the Scarlet Macaw?
the birds wings act as an airfoil,as air goes over the wing it creates lift,as the wings move upward the tip moves backwards and the air moving over the wings pulls the birds wings up and also the air moving below pushes the bird up and as the wing goes downward the wing feathers twist slightly witch causes thrust. the air foil shape of there wings helps them produce lift and the larger the wing the greater the lift. there are three major drag forces that a bird produces, they are: frictional drag,form drag and lift induced drag.
How does the shape of a plane's wing reduce drag?
A wing that is swept back reduces drag, but sacrifices stability at low speeds. Straight-winged aircraft produce the most drag, but are the most stable at low, landing speeds. The F-111 and F-14, with variable geometry wings, benefit from both aspects.
Why dodder is a parasitic plant?
cause obviously it is a parasitic plant DERR
What is the use of wings on a aircraft?
An aircrafts wings create lift and drag. Without wings, the craft would have difficulty even getting airborne.
What are the four things an airplane needs to fly?
The four "Forces" interacting with an airplane in flight is Lift, Thrust, Weight, and Drag. Weight is gravity pulling the plane down. Drag is the resistance of the air wanting to slow the plane down (two parts, parasitic drag(air resistance) and induced drag(drag created by the wings creation of lift.) Thrust is what makes the plane go forward, either a jet or rocket engine produce thrust, or a propeller produces thrust through an engine producing power (to keep it simple, this is essentially the same thing, just think of a force making the plane go forward). Finally, lift, this is created by the wing, low pressure above it, and a (relative) higher pressure below it.
What is a plant that cannot produce food for itself because it has no chlorophyll?
A parasitic plant.
Objects falling through the air experience a type of friction called .?
Air Resistance or Drag is the type of friction that a falling object encounters while in the air. It has three classifications which are the lift-induced, the parasitic drag and last the wave drag.
What is a bat fly?
A bat fly is any of the family Nycteribiidae of flattened, spider-like parasitic flies, which do not have eyes or wings.
How does adding wings to a film canister rocket effect the flight of the canister?
It helps because the wings cut through the air and there is less drag
Why are wings used on racecars if they produce lift on planes?
If that wing is turned upside down, it increases drag instead of lift. Race cars use this increased downward force to give them more traction at higher speeds.
