What does average speed mean in science?
It means the sum of the measured/calculated speeds divided by the number of speeds that were measured/calculated.
Can aircraft stop in flight?
No, an aircraft can travel at speeds of 500 MPH and faster, so to stop an aircraft would result in it having to land.
How Flaps work on the aircraft?
flaps create lift when the aircraft has low speeds http://science.howstuffworks.com/airplane13.htm
What is the fastest unmanned aircraft?
the x-43 is the fastest unmanned aircraft reaching speeds up to 7,500 mph
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
What is the name of the fastest aircraft?
It is supposedly the SR-71 blackbird built by Lockheed Martin and was capable of speeds of mach 3.5 and over. Although its true top speed is classified, from the speeds we do know of, it is the fastest aircraft... that was manned. Unmanned aircraft are a different story.
What is the weather related hazard to aircraft that can accelerate forward and downward speeds causing an aircraft to crash on departure or landing?
Wind.
How does the speed of infrared radiation compare with the speed of x- rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?
If both speeds are measured in the same medium, whether it be vacuum, water, or jello, then they are equal.
How fast your tow an aircraft?
Aircraft towing speeds depend on the operating airline or airforce, but are usually around 4 - 5 mph.
Some aircraft can fly faster than the speed of sound what is such speed called?
They are called Supersonic aircraft. Some aircraft can only do that. Some planes have reached even Hypersonic speeds.
How you can measure aircraft utilization?
Aircraft productivity is the measure of the craft's productivity. It's measured by dividing aircraft block hours by the days allocated to service on air.
Why aircraft that travel at supersonic speeds cannot be heard on the ground?
The properties of air flow at supersonic speeds is different than for subsonic speeds. So the design of the shape of the airplane and the inlets for the engines have to be different in order for it to fly at supersonic speeds.
