What is flight deck effect in Boeing aircraft?
The flight deck is the name given to the area from which the aircraft is actually controlled, as in, pilot, copilot, flight engineer, and any other persons that are a part of the crew tasked with the actual control of the aircraft. The cockpit is a part of the flight deck.
What has the author Edward A Wells written?
Edward A. Wells has written: 'Design and flight test of the propulsion controlled aircraft (PCA) flight control system on the NASA F-15 test aircraft' -- subject(s): Control systems, Flight control, Airplanes, Research aircraft
Who made the first ariplane?
The first powered aircraft to achieve controlled sustained flight was the Wright Flyer made by the wright brothers.
Do pilots pass out from the g force when taking off from an aircraft carrier and are the planes controlled from the aircraft carrier with radio control for the first minute or two?
During a launch, air crew members are exposed to g forces of 3 to 3.5 Gs. They do NOT black out, (actually called greying out) and the aircraft is controlled by the flight crew, not by remote control.
Is flight deck an aircraft carrier?
There is a flight deck on an aircraft carrier but, it is not an aircraft carrier as there are many other ships that have flight decks on them. The amphibious assault ship is a good example.
What is a flight engineer?
In aviation, a flight engineer is a member of the aircrew of an aircraft who is responsible for checking the aircraft before and after each flight, and for monitoring and operating aircraft systems during flight. The flight engineer usually has a background in aircraft maintenance and may reasonably be described as the "technical expert" member of the operating crew.
What would happen to an airplane if you changed its speed and flaps?
The aircraft would change it's flight attitude. If you reduced the speed you would now be in a controlled descent, possibly for landing.
What is a flight of airplanes called?
In most airforces a 'flight' is 2-4 aircraft, next grouping is a 'squadron', usually 9-12 aircraft. then a 'wing' , 30-36 aircraft.
Can you add aircraft to the demo of Microsoft Flight Simulator X?
No, you cannot add aircraft to the demo of Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
When was flight first of an aircraft achieved?
The first flight of an aircraft was achieved in 1903 by Wright Brothers in USA in the state of North Carolina.
What is an aircraft's speed controlled by?
the speed of the engines
What is zero visibility in aircraft?
It seems that the possibilty of an aircraft that is soley controlled by a computer (computer system) is very possible. There are already Unmanned Aerial Vehicles flying in the military. Catagory III aircraft have auto-land, which enables the aircraft to land in zero visibility (obviously at Cat III certified runways). Autopilot flies preprogrammed flight paths and approaches. What problems to do you see in this? Would you fly in a piloted-computer controlled aircraft in the future? Something to think about: more than 70% of aircraft accidents occure due to pilot error and not mechanical failure.
