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.


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.


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 discoveries did the Wright brothers made?

The Wright brothers made the first successful powered airplane flight in 1903. Their invention demonstrated controlled flight by an aircraft with a pilot on board, pioneering the field of aviation. They also developed key innovations in aerodynamics that are still used in aircraft design today.


Who are the people who made the first aircraft?

The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, are credited with inventing and building the first successful powered aircraft. On December 17, 1903, they achieved the first controlled, sustained flight of a heavier-than-air aircraft at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Their pioneering work laid the foundation for modern aviation, demonstrating the principles of flight and control.

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.
