What features does a paper plane need to land?

What are the forces of a plane slowing down to land?
Reduce the thrust, air resistance will reduce the velocity, lift will diminish, gravity will reduce the height.
Why does weight of the object change its falling speed?
it dosent, because if you drop 2 objects at the same mass and weight from really high up then they will land at the same time. This is because the weight of the object doesnt matter, only the force of gravity.
How fast are airplanes going when they land?
The speed depends on the aircraft type and also on the weight of the aircraft. The more load it is carrying, the faster it needs to travel to land safely. Typically, an airliner will be travelling at 120mph or faster as it lands. A 747 will usually be moving faster than a smaller passenger plane - in the region of 150mph or more. Concorde, designed for extreme speed needs to be travelling faster still. the design that helps it travel so fast also means that it needs to land at higher speeds than all other airliners. Light aircraft will typically be landing at a speed of below 100mph.It varies - depending on the plane. For example - a twin-seater light aircraft has a landing speed of roughly 70 mph. A 'heavy-bodied' jet will be travelling at over 300 mph !That depends on a lot of things like the type of aircraft, the wind speed, angle of the flaps etc. However a 747 will usually land between 121MPH and 165MPH. I hope this helps
What is the least height to kill a human being?
That depends on a lot of variables. Weight, how you land, what you land on, just to name a few. There have people known to have fallen hundreds of feet and yet servive. Then there are those less fortunate that have died falling out of a bed, chair, or have tripped or slipped over objects in the lawn of in the house.
What would happen if you were on a plane and had no weight to you?
If you were on a plane and had no weight to you you would float in the plane like there was no gravity, even though there is but if the plane was angled precisely you can float in the plane as if gravity was turned off. But this only lasts a few minutes as you come closer to land.
Is it legal to land a plane on a road?
no i don't know why but it is not legal to land a plane on a road
What is the homophone for a flat land and a joiners tool?
plane
When a plane is coming to land what is it called?
The plane is on approach.
What plane can land on water and land?
They answer is a hovercraft.
What is the minimum angle with which a plane can land?
It depends on which plane. Some aircraft can land at very steep angles.
How does plane land?
The plane lands by gracefully falling out of the sky.
How jet plane moves on land?
When a jet plane moves on land, it is called taxiing. The engine thrust of the plane allows the plane to move without actually taking off until it is ready.
A sentence for Land Plain?
When I was in the plane I crossed a Land Plain
Can you land and take off a plane on tom clancy's hawx?
No, if you try to land on a runway, your plane explodes when you hit the ground.
Which is greater land or water?
Water has a larger surface area on the earth. Land has a greater mass.
Can any plane land anywhere?
No.
