Does an aircraft has right of way over a towed aircraft on ground?

An aircraft coming in for landing would normally have the right of way over all other aircraft or vehicles unless there is an emergency situation, in which case those involved in the emergency have right of way.

What is required when parking a vehicle on the airfield?
An airplane or helicopter with a tail hook should swoop over the vehicle and take it off the ground, like a hawk!! Just kidding-- it must be towed if it's interfering with aircraft or airport operations.
What is used to slow down an aircraft?
If the aircraft is coming into land then the hinged part of the wing called Flaps are lowered to increase the amount of Drag over the wings. If you think of drag as an air-born form of braking then Flaps down means the aircraft the aircraft slows but increases the maneuverability the pilot has over the aircraft. If the aircraft is on the ground then wheel brakes are very useful
What is the maximum towing speed for all aircraft?
You should never tow an aircraft faster than a fast walking pace or slow jog. Somewhere around 3 or 4 mph. Some aircraft can be very unstable when being towed (afterall they are essentially just big, top-heavy tricycles) so special care should be taken when going around turns, over large bumps, or on slopes when towing an aircraft.
From which plane did German paratrooper jump?
Their transport aircraft were the common Junkers 52, which carried 17 paratroopers, and the DFS 230 glider, which carried over a ton of heavier weapons and equipment, or troops, and could be towed by an empty Junkers 52 and released over the landing zone.
Fire department vehicles responding to an emergency have priority over all other motor vehicles and aircraft ground movement on the airfield?
True
How do aircraft measure their speed?
Aircraft measure two kinds of speed, air speed and speed over ground. Air speed is measured by the flow of air one way or another. Speed over ground can nowadays easily be measured by GPS. Or the Old fashioned way of checking the time it takes to pass from one land mark to another.
Did US forces cross over the Iraqi border during Desert Storm?
Coalition aircraft may have when striking ground targets. Ground troops simply ejected Iraqi forces from Kuwait...which was the mission.
What was the purpose of the blimps over London in World War 2?
They were used to block off the bombing runs of enemy aircraft, they were tethered to the ground by steel cables and the aircraft flew into these cables and crashed. The blimps were unmanned and not used as transportation
What is it called when you glide over sea or lake towed by a speedboat?
Parasailing .
At what speeds do aircraft travel?
A huge range of speeds from light civilian aircraft at about 100+mph, passenger jets around 500, right up to fighter jets at over 1400 mph
Why do airplanes take off and land against the wind?
Airplanes approach to a landing at an airspeed (relative speed of the aircraft passing through the air) recommended by the aircraft manufacturer. If an aircraft approaches too fast, it may not have enough runway to stop. If it approaches too slowly, there may not be enough air flow over the wing and the wing may stall, causing the wing to lose lift and the aircraft to descend or enter a spin. On larger aircraft, the approach airspeed varies according to the airplane weight at landing. An airplane approaching at 100 miles per hour into a 20 mile per hour headwind is traveling over the ground at only 80 miles per hour, resulting in a slower groundspeed at touchdown, requiring less runway and less braking to stop. An aircraft taking off into a 20 mile per hour headwind will reach takeoff (rotation) airspeed in a shorter distance over-the-ground than an aircraft taking off in a calm wind or tailwind. With a headwind, the aircraft will also climb at a steeper angle, when compared to its movement over the ground, helping it climb over obstacles at the end of the runway.
How is thrust used to create lift?
When the aircraft move forward the air moving over the top of the wing curves slightly across the top of the wing this cause a vacuum between the wing surface and the air passing over it. The effect is to pull the wing (and therefore the aircraft) upward thus lifting it off the ground
